Volunteers wanted: Reem's yard after the storm
Reem, 90, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Cairo for 33 years. After the storm in June, 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 six 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Reem. Hope the doctors have good news
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
