Clear storm damage from Dinusha's garden in Negombo
Dinusha, 73, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Negombo for 24 years. After the storm in April, 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 twelve 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.
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out, Dinusha. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Sheffield.
