A day in the garden: help Orville in Half-Way Tree
Garden rescue day in Half-Way Tree: bring gloves and a rake.
🇯🇲 Half-Way Tree, Saint Andrew, Jamaica810 views
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Half-Way Tree for 43 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 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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you, Orville. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Orville. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Yekaterinburg donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Dar es Salaam.
take care, Orville. Get well soon. God bless.
Take care, Orville. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
