A day in the garden: help Indika in Galle
Indika, 75, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇱🇰 Galle, Southern, Sri Lanka800 views
I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Galle for 40 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Indika. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Best of luck, Indika. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from São Paulo.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
