Clear storm damage from Barasa's garden in Kampala

Garden rescue day in Kampala: bring gloves and a rake.

Kampala
I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Kampala for 39 years. After the storm in February, 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 twelve 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

        Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
