Clear storm damage from Rhea's garden in Caloocan
Garden rescue day in Caloocan: bring gloves and a rake.
🇵🇭 1405, Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines1,071 views
I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Caloocan for 47 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 eight 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace, Rhea. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Santos so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Minneapolis.
Best of luck, Rhea. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. God bless.
stay strong. Get well soon. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
Hope you get there. Love from Karachi
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Caloocan.
Hope things get better soon, Rhea. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Get well soon. We're a small family in Bekasi but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Praying for you. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Piraeus
Sending strength, Rhea. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Rhea. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Good luck, Rhea. Get well soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Caloocan.
Rooting for you, Rhea. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
