A day in the garden: help Mei in Manukau
Garden rescue day in Manukau: bring gloves and a rake.
🇳🇿 2183, Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand1,059 views
I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Manukau for 50 years. After the storm in January, 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 ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Ciudad de México.
Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Manukau.
Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
You're not alone, Mei. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
