Volunteers wanted: Thandi's yard after the storm
Thandi, 73, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Johannesburg for 36 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 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.

Stay strong, Thandi. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Oaxaca de Juárez donated after I showed her your page. Love from Oaxaca de Juárez.
