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

I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Kolkata for 36 years. After the storm in June, 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 twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care, Pranjal. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best.

Hang in there, Pranjal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Kolkata.
