A day in the garden: help Rahim in Dhaka
Garden rescue day in Dhaka: bring gloves and a rake.
🇧🇩 1205, Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh578 views
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Dhaka for 28 years. After the storm in May, 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 poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be twelve 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.

Thinking of you, Rahim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
