Yard rescue for Xuân, 88: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Xuân's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇻🇳 Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam437 views
I'm 88 and I have lived in this house in Thủ Đức for 25 years. After the storm in June, 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 heart condition.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.
