I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Arusha for 42 years. After the storm in April, 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 eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Lucy. This could happen to any of us. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care

    • Rooting for you, Lucy. Wishing Lucy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.

      • Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
