Yard rescue for Okello, 79: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Kinondoni: bring gloves and a rake.
🇹🇿 14119, Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania302 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Kinondoni for 39 years. After the storm in March, 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 six 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
sending strength, Okello. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Moscow.
Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Üsküdar.
