A day in the garden: help Kamal in Dehiwala
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Kamal's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇱🇰 Dehiwala, Western, Sri Lanka493 views
I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Dehiwala for 37 years. After the storm in June, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

- 3–5 hours

Hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
take care, Kamal. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Bakersfield
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
