Yard rescue for Wangari, 78: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Wangari's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Embakasi for 39 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 my hip replacement.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
