Volunteers wanted: Emi's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Osaka: bring gloves and a rake.
🇯🇵 530-4647, Osaka, Osaka, JapanPosted Sep 29, 20251,055 views
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Osaka for 24 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Emi. Hope you get there. All the best.
Rooting for you, Emi. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you. God bless
