Volunteers wanted: Jamila's yard after the storm

Garden rescue day in Riyadh: bring gloves and a rake.

Riyadh
I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Riyadh for 21 years. After the storm in August, 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 my hip replacement. 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: 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 hope life is good to you.
