Yard rescue for Rashidi, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Rashidi, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Nairobi for 49 years. After the storm in May, 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thank you for reading my story.

thinking of you, Rashidi. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Good luck, Rashidi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
You're not alone, Rashidi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Machakos
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Üsküdar donated after I showed her your page.
