Yard rescue for Vikash, 86: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Vikash's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Soweto for 48 years. After the storm in August, 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
