Yard rescue for Rachel, 92: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Pietermaritzburg: bring gloves and a rake.
🇿🇦 Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa720 views
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Pietermaritzburg for 40 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 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family, Rachel. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Rooting for you, Rachel. Wishing Rachel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Tokyo
