Yard rescue for Mbali, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Mbali's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Soweto for 20 years. After the storm in October, 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be twelve 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
