A day in the garden: help Barasa in Mbale
Garden rescue day in Mbale: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇬 Mbale, Eastern Region, Uganda351 views
I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Mbale for 34 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

Hang in there, Barasa. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Amsterdam so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you, Barasa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless!
best of luck, Barasa. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
