Clear storm damage from Sachin's garden in Kolkata
Sachin, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Kolkata for 22 years. After the storm in September, 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 twelve 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing Sachin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 37 people at work. Love from Düsseldorf.
Thinking of you and your family, Sachin. Wishing Sachin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
