Volunteers wanted: Byaruhanga's yard after the storm

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Byaruhanga's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Nairobi
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Nairobi for 36 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 a heart condition. The council has told me it will be ten 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

      Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning. Greetings from Dhaka.

        Rooting for you, Byaruhanga. Wishing Byaruhanga a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Nairobi.

        • Claudia R. Rodríguez

          Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Pattaya.
