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

I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Kampala for 31 years. After the storm in March, 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 twelve 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.
Thank you so much.

thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Corpus Christi.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
