A day in the garden: help Zahid in Gazipur

Zahid, 79, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Gazipur
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Gazipur for 40 years. After the storm in December, 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 my hip replacement. 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    So sorry you're going through this, Zahid. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.

        Keep going, Zahid. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Lagos
