Yard rescue for Wanjiru, 71: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Wanjiru, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇰🇪 Nakuru, Nakuru, Kenya684 views
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Nakuru for 47 years. After the storm in February, 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 twelve 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.
