A day in the garden: help Vanessa in Manila
Garden rescue day in Manila: bring gloves and a rake.
🇵🇭 1002, Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines1,791 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Manila for 42 years. After the storm in December, 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 recent fall.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Düsseldorf
Good luck, Vanessa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Gwagwalada donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Manila.

Praying for you, Vanessa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Jakarta but we're thinking of you. God bless
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Santos.
Hope it all works out, Vanessa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Noida.
