Clear storm damage from Tejas's garden in Patna
Tejas, 77, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇮🇳 Patna, Bihar, India377 views
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Patna for 48 years. After the storm in November, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Patna but we're thinking of you.
wishing you peace, Tejas. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. Love from Tehuacán.
Sending love, Tejas. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Praying for you, Tejas. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Mumbai!
Best of luck, Tejas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Patna
Take care, Tejas. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 39 people at work. God bless.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Tema
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Praying for you, Tejas. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Zanzibar City donated after I showed her your page.
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Udaipur so I could bring a meal
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Kampala so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Casablanca.
take care, Tejas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Patna.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Patna
Wishing you peace, Tejas. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
