A day in the garden: help Mpho in Soweto

Mpho, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Soweto
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Soweto for 30 years. After the storm in August, 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 eight 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 so much.
