Clear storm damage from Chaminda's garden in Colombo
Chaminda, 90, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Colombo for 37 years. After the storm in October, 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 eight 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Colombo.
Hang in there, Chaminda. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 21 people at work. Greetings from Kisumu
Best of luck, Chaminda. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Dhaka.
