Volunteers wanted: Igor's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Moscow: bring gloves and a rake.
🇷🇺 101041, Moscow, Moscow, Russia918 views
I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Moscow for 22 years. After the storm in November, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of a heart condition.
The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

thanks for sharing this, Igor. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Moscow.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Moscow.
This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Kampala.
Thinking of you, Igor. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Moscow.
Wishing you the best, Igor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
