Yard rescue for Orhan, 89: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Orhan, 89, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye261 views
I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Istanbul for 46 years. After the storm in May, 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 recent fall.
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: 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
