Volunteers wanted: Mariko's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Mariko's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Setagaya for 43 years. After the storm in December, 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 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.
Thank you so much.

hang in there, Mariko. Looking forward to the next update.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal
Praying for you, Mariko. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Love from Essen
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Setagaya.
