Yard rescue for Hira, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Lahore: bring gloves and a rake.
🇵🇰 54050, Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan1,232 views
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Lahore for 29 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 a heart condition.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Hira. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Love from Dwarka.
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Hira a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Lahore
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Port Harcourt.
