A day in the garden: help Elmarie in Soweto
Garden rescue day in Soweto: bring gloves and a rake.
🇿🇦 Soweto, Gauteng, South Africa1,164 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Soweto for 49 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 six 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
