Volunteers wanted: Mercy's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Mercy's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda197 views
I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Kampala for 29 years. After the storm in July, 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Móstoles.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Kampala.
Keep going, Mercy. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
