A day in the garden: help Terry in Wollongong
Garden rescue day in Wollongong: bring gloves and a rake.
🇦🇺 2504, Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia1,207 views
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Wollongong 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 poor eyesight.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thank you for reading my story.

best of luck. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Badagry so I could bring a meal.
Sending love, Terry. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Utrecht.
