A day in the garden: help Shankar in Mysuru
Shankar, 74, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Mysuru for 35 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope you get there. My neighbor in Coventry donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mysuru.
Hang in there, Shankar. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
