A day in the garden: help Shailesh in Kochi
Garden rescue day in Kochi: bring gloves and a rake.
🇮🇳 Kochi, Kerala, India849 views
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Kochi for 46 years. After the storm in July, 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 six 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.

Hang in there, Shailesh. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Shailesh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 13 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thanks for sharing this, Shailesh. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up.
Take care. Shared this with my family. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
