A day in the garden: help Dinesh in Mumbai

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Dinesh's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Mumbai
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Mumbai for 41 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 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: 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.

          Thinking of you, Dinesh. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mumbai
