A day in the garden: help Bhavna in Vadodara
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Bhavna's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇮🇳 Vadodara, Gujarat, India1,834 views
I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Vadodara for 24 years. After the storm in May, 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 ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 9 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Medan!
