Clear storm damage from Keiko's garden in Kawasaki
Garden rescue day in Kawasaki: bring gloves and a rake.
🇯🇵 Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan1,611 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Kawasaki for 37 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 poor eyesight.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. 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.

Praying for you, Keiko. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Jerusalem
