Yard rescue for Devi, 86: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Devi, 86, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇿🇦 Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa736 views
I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Richards Bay for 21 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 poor eyesight.
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 hope life is good to you.
