Volunteers wanted: Anika's yard after the storm
Anika, 86, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇧🇩 Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Bangladesh998 views
I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Cox's Bazar for 20 years. After the storm in July, 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 a recent fall.
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: 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, Anika. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Cox's Bazar.
Best of luck, Anika. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Limerick donated after I showed her your page. Take care
keep going, Anika. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
