Volunteers wanted: Karim's yard after the storm
Karim, 92, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Narayanganj for 40 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 my hip replacement.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Dublin.
So sorry you're going through this, Karim. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Narayanganj.
Praying for you, Karim. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Mekelle.
