Clear storm damage from Sipho F's garden in Pretoria
Sipho F, 89, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Pretoria for 45 years. After the storm in August, 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing Sipho F a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Praying for you, Sipho F. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care!
thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 24 people at work.
best of luck, Sipho F. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless
hang in there, Sipho F. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Love from Leeds.
