Volunteers wanted: Solomon's yard after the storm

Garden rescue day in Addis Ababa: bring gloves and a rake.

Addis Ababa
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Addis Ababa for 49 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 six 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. Thank you so much.
