Volunteers wanted: Jewel's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Jewel's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Dhaka for 47 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.

you're not alone, Jewel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Dasmariñas donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Dhaka.
Stay strong, Jewel. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
