A day in the garden: help Janet in Mwanza
Janet, 82, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Mwanza for 27 years. After the storm in November, 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
