Volunteers wanted: Agus's yard after the storm
Agus, 90, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇮🇩 Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia1,439 views
I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Makassar for 35 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 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: 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this, Agus. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Best of luck, Agus. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Kediri but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Get well soon. We're a small family in Durban but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Makassar.
Keep going. 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
looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Tlaquepaque.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Rennes donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Makassar.
best of luck, Agus. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you peace, Agus. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Spanish Town so I could bring a meal.
your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 26 people at work. Thinking of Makassar.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 15 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Agus. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
