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

I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Kinondoni for 35 years. After the storm in July, 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 heart condition.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Sheffield so I could bring a meal.
thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. Thinking of Kinondoni!
shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Haifa.
thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
