Yard rescue for Neema, 71: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Nairobi: bring gloves and a rake.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya1,802 views
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Nairobi for 38 years. After the storm in February, 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 recent fall.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.

Thinking of you. Wishing Neema a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
take care, Neema. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from The Hague!
Wishing you the best, Neema. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Anaheim.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Semarang but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Nairobi.
Hope it all works out, Neema. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Epe.
thanks for sharing this, Neema. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Jakarta.
