Volunteers wanted: Sita's yard after the storm
Sita, 86, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Chennai for 21 years. After the storm in May, 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

stay strong, Sita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Chennai.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Chennai
hope things get better soon, Sita. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Gujranwala but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Gujranwala
praying for you, Sita. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
