A day in the garden: help Wambui in Machakos
Wambui, 78, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Machakos for 41 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

sending love, Wambui. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Machakos.
Hope it all works out, Wambui. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Machakos
