A day in the garden: help Vikas in Mumbai
Vikas, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Mumbai for 27 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 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Vikas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Wishing you peace, Vikas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Soweto.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 24 people at work.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Mumbai
Thanks for sharing this, Vikas. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mumbai.
