A day in the garden: help Imran in Mthatha

Garden rescue day in Mthatha: bring gloves and a rake.

Mthatha
I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Mthatha for 40 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 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. I hope life is good to you.
