A day in the garden: help Mariko in Yokohama

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

Yokohama
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Yokohama for 32 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 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.

    Thinking of you, Mariko. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Móstoles

      Hang in there, Mariko. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      • Njoroge Paul Kiprop

        Hope things get better soon, Mariko. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Yokohama.

          reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Pasig but we're thinking of you. Take care
