Yard rescue for Akinyi, 90: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Akinyi's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇰🇪 Eldoret, Uasin Gishu, Kenya619 views
I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Eldoret for 29 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 arthritis.
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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
