A day in the garden: help Okta in Jakarta
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Okta's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Jakarta for 40 years. After the storm in November, 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 poor eyesight.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

Good luck, Okta. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Medellín donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Wishing you peace, Okta. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Sending strength, Okta. Hope you get there.
Thinking of you and your family, Okta. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Wishing you the best, Okta. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Jakarta.
