A day in the garden: help Hanna in Addis Ababa

Garden rescue day in Addis Ababa: bring gloves and a rake.

Addis Ababa
I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Addis Ababa for 48 years. After the storm in October, 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: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Thank you for reading my story.

    Sending love, Hanna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Swansea this morning!

      take care, Hanna. Get well soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
