Volunteers wanted: Kato's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Kato's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya946 views
I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Likoni for 44 years. After the storm in September, 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 eight 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.

So sorry you're going through this, Kato. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing you peace, Kato. Wishing Kato a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Shinjuku donated after I showed her your page.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Likoni
Stay strong, Kato. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update
So sorry you're going through this, Kato. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hang in there, Kato. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Likoni.
you're not alone, Kato. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Ciudad de México so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Kato. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Rooting for you, Kato. Hope this works out for you
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Thika.
Sending strength, Kato. Hope you get there. Take care.
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
Praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
