Yard rescue for Sani, 74: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Sani's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Bonny for 21 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 a recent fall.
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: 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Sani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Best of luck, Sani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Peshawar so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Sani. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Bonny
