A day in the garden: help Chaminda in Colombo
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Chaminda's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka245 views
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Colombo for 21 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 arthritis.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
