Clear storm damage from Bappy's garden in Kozhikode
Bappy, 86, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Kozhikode for 20 years. After the storm in March, 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 ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there, Bappy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Keep going, Bappy. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kozhikode.
thinking of you and your family, Bappy. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up.
Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Kozhikode
Thanks for sharing this, Bappy. Get well soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Alcalá de Henares.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Tamale

Stay strong, Bappy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to George so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
