Yard rescue for Elif, 74: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Istanbul: bring gloves and a rake.
🇹🇷 34002, Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye979 views
I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Istanbul for 37 years. After the storm in April, 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 poor eyesight.
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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. 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.

You're not alone, Elif. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up.
Stay strong, Elif. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Ahmedabad donated after I showed her your page.
thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Wishing you peace, Elif. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
Thinking of you, Elif. This could happen to any of us
Hope things get better soon, Elif. Get well soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Dar es Salaam
