A day in the garden: help Kweku in Tema
Kweku, 90, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Tema for 49 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 twelve 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, Kweku. Wishing Kweku a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Kweku. Hope the doctors have good news
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Tema.
Thinking of you, Kweku. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from Coimbatore.
Stay strong, Kweku. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck, Kweku. Get well soon. Thinking of Tema
Hope things get better soon, Kweku. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Wishing you peace, Kweku. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Tema.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Tema.
hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Turin.
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Kweku a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Ciudad de México.
Sending good thoughts, Kweku. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
