Volunteers wanted: Chantel's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in East London: bring gloves and a rake.
🇿🇦 5209, East London, Eastern Cape, South Africa1,044 views
I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in East London for 42 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 arthritis.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
