Yard rescue for Refilwe, 78: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Sandton: bring gloves and a rake.
🇿🇦 2192, Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa708 views
I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Sandton for 28 years. After the storm in July, 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 arthritis.
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: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.
