Yard rescue for Duha, 81: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Duha's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt1,708 views
I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Cairo for 41 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 arthritis.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
