Clear storm damage from Akash's garden in Siliguri
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Akash's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Siliguri for 21 years. After the storm in August, 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 ten 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck, Akash. Wishing Akash a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hang in there, Akash. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Dar es Salaam
wishing you peace, Akash. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Moscow donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Akash. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 22 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Siliguri.
