Clear storm damage from Eko's garden in Jakarta
Garden rescue day in Jakarta: bring gloves and a rake.
🇮🇩 10161, Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,105 views
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Jakarta for 36 years. After the storm in June, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Newcastle upon Tyne
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Campinas
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Newcastle upon Tyne so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Jakarta.
Rooting for you, Eko. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Sending love, Eko. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 29 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Eko. Wishing Eko a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Sending love, Eko. Hope this works out for you.
Stay strong, Eko. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Bonny but we're thinking of you. Blessings
