Volunteers wanted: Wangari's yard after the storm
Wangari, 90, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Nakuru for 30 years. After the storm in May, 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 ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thank you for reading my story.

Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 15 people at work. Love from Kano.
Hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Bakersfield!
you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Nakuru.
Thinking of you and your family, Wangari. Hope this works out for you
