Yard rescue for Nancy, 82: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Nancy's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Kinondoni for 27 years. After the storm in June, 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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. 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.

Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Kinondoni.
Hope it all works out, Nancy. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
You're not alone, Nancy. Get well soon.
Stay strong, Nancy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
sending love, Nancy. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from New Delhi.
Rooting for you, Nancy. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Stuttgart this morning. Blessings
Rooting for you, Nancy. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. Greetings from Accra!
Hope it all works out, Nancy. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kinondoni.
