Volunteers wanted: Irmak's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in İzmir: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in İzmir for 39 years. After the storm in February, 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 arthritis.
The council has told me it will be twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

hope things get better soon, Irmak. Your post was clear and honest.
so sorry you're going through this, Irmak. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Irmak. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of İzmir.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from St. Petersburg
