Volunteers wanted: Shafiq's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Mysuru: bring gloves and a rake.
🇮🇳 570799, Mysuru, Karnataka, India1,424 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Mysuru for 31 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 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: 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Shafiq. Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Sending strength, Shafiq. Wishing Shafiq a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Wishing you peace, Shafiq. 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. Thinking of Mysuru!
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Tokyo
