Yard rescue for Ssebuliba, 77: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Mbarara: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇬 Mbarara, Western Region, Uganda1,084 views
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Mbarara for 20 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 eight 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.

So sorry you're going through this, Ssebuliba. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Love from Dar es Salaam.
wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
