Volunteers wanted: Haruka's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Setagaya: bring gloves and a rake.
🇯🇵 Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan1,381 views
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Setagaya for 38 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 recent fall.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Haruka. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours
Praying for you, Haruka. Wishing Haruka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Hang in there, Haruka. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
