A day in the garden: help Mthunzi in Johannesburg
Garden rescue day in Johannesburg: bring gloves and a rake.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa784 views
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Johannesburg for 25 years. After the storm in December, 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: 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Mthunzi. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning
Hope it all works out, Mthunzi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless
