Yard rescue for Faisal, 92: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Faisal's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Gujranwala for 44 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Faisal. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Faisal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Greetings from Lagos.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 28 people at work. Blessings.
Praying for you, Faisal. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Hope things get better soon, Faisal. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
sending love. Wishing Faisal a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Faisal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
