Clear storm damage from Unathi's garden in Pietermaritzburg
Unathi, 79, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Pietermaritzburg for 21 years. After the storm in July, 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: 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Love from Surabaya.
get well soon. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
wishing you peace. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Bloemfontein donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Bloemfontein.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg.
