A day in the garden: help Aoi in Kawasaki
Aoi, 79, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇯🇵 Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan656 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Kawasaki for 31 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 arthritis.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

hang in there, Aoi. Wishing Aoi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Aoi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Takoradi.
stay strong, Aoi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Kawasaki.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Love from Lahore
You're not alone, Aoi. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Mbale so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Bang Khen
