A day in the garden: help Fatema in Dhaka
Fatema, 75, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,171 views
I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Dhaka for 49 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 arthritis.
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: 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 hope life is good to you.

Best of luck, Fatema. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Warangal so I could bring a meal. Love from Manchester.
praying for you, Fatema. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Take care, Fatema. Hope the doctors have good news. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Chattogram.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
