A day in the garden: help Victor in Nairobi
Victor, 86, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya312 views
I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Nairobi for 33 years. After the storm in January, 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 my hip replacement.
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: 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
