A day in the garden: help Alok in Pune
Garden rescue day in Pune: bring gloves and a rake.
🇮🇳 411744, Pune, Maharashtra, India1,460 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Pune for 30 years. After the storm in July, 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 twelve 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
