A day in the garden: help Lesego in Pretoria
Lesego, 75, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Pretoria for 48 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 a recent fall.
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.

rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
stay strong, Lesego. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Sending love, Lesego. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Pretoria.
