A day in the garden: help Pooja in Agra
Pooja, 79, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Agra for 49 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thank you so much.

Keep going, Pooja. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Pooja. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Berlin
Sending strength, Pooja. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Malmö so I could bring a meal. God bless.
wishing you the best, Pooja. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Mecca this morning. Thinking of Agra
Your post was clear and honest. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Fresno.
You're not alone, Pooja. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
