A day in the garden: help Gilbert in Manila
Gilbert, 91, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines282 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Manila for 23 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 a heart condition.
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: 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.

best of luck, Gilbert. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
