Yard rescue for Irene, 82: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Kampala: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda184 views
I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Kampala for 26 years. After the storm in January, 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 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.

Hope things get better soon, Irene. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
