A day in the garden: help Kagiso in Pietermaritzburg
Garden rescue day in Pietermaritzburg: bring gloves and a rake.
🇿🇦 Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa177 views
I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Pietermaritzburg for 47 years. After the storm in May, 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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. 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.

Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Springfield.
Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Springfield so I could bring a meal. Love from Duisburg.
hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Sandton
Wishing you the best, Kagiso. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
sending strength, Kagiso. Looking forward to the next update. After 18 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
