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

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Mombasa for 22 years. After the storm in May, 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 six 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Upendo. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Mombasa
Hope it all works out, Upendo. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
