A day in the garden: help Rubina in Dhaka
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Rubina's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Dhaka for 39 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 a recent fall.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Thinking of you and your family, Rubina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
good luck, Rubina. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Thinking of you, Rubina. Hope the doctors have good news.
