A day in the garden: help John in Nairobi
Garden rescue day in Nairobi: bring gloves and a rake.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya189 views
I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Nairobi for 27 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 arthritis.
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: 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

praying for you, John. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Las Cruces
Get well soon. We're a small family in Geelong but we're thinking of you.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Nairobi.
Hope it all works out, John. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Nairobi.
Good luck, John. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Maringá.
Hope you get there. My neighbor in Boston donated after I showed her your page. God bless!
Hope things get better soon, John. Get well soon.
Sending love, John. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted.
