A day in the garden: help Khadija in Epe

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

Epe
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Epe for 49 years. After the storm in February, 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 my hip replacement. The council has told me it will be six 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.
