A day in the garden: help Ismael in Lapu-Lapu
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Ismael's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇵🇭 Lapu-Lapu, Cebu, Philippines1,189 views
I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Lapu-Lapu 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 a recent fall.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Niterói donated after I showed her your page
Hope it all works out, Ismael. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Best of luck, Ismael. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Nakhon Ratchasima
Keep going, Ismael. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Keep going, Ismael. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Nashville this morning.
