A day in the garden: help Wegayehu in Hawassa
Wegayehu, 88, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇪🇹 Hawassa, Sidama, Ethiopia1,553 views
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Hawassa for 20 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 my hip replacement.
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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. 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.

So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Mukono donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Wegayehu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 37 people at work

Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Tehuacán
