Clear storm damage from Mark's garden in Gqeberha
Mark, 91, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Gqeberha for 35 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 a heart condition.
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: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. 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, Mark. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Faisalabad but we're thinking of you. Blessings!

Wishing you peace, Mark. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Bogra.
