Volunteers wanted: Balaji's yard after the storm
Balaji, 91, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇮🇳 New Delhi, Delhi, India444 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in New Delhi for 27 years. After the storm in August, 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.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings

thanks for sharing this, Balaji. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings
Hope you get there. After 13 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Balaji. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Iztapalapa but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Iztapalapa.
Hope it all works out, Balaji. Shared it with a few friends.
Wishing you peace, Balaji. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Santos

Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Hang in there, Balaji. Wishing Balaji a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Love from Leicester.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Savar so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 9 people at work.
