Yard rescue for Hanna, 74: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Garden rescue day in Bahir Dar: bring gloves and a rake.

Bahir Dar
I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Bahir Dar for 50 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 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: 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
