Yard rescue for Anika, 78: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Cox's Bazar: bring gloves and a rake.
🇧🇩 4706, Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Bangladesh1,191 views
I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Cox's Bazar for 29 years. After the storm in July, 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 poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Anika. Wishing Anika a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you the best, Anika. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page. All the best

Thinking of you and your family, Anika. Your post was clear and honest. After 26 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
