A day in the garden: help Elena in Cebu City
Elena, 73, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇵🇭 Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines780 views
I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Cebu City for 34 years. After the storm in June, 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this, Elena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Bahir Dar but we're thinking of you
Keep going, Elena. Hope you get there. Greetings from Shreveport.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
