Yard rescue for Oshadi, 81: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Colombo: bring gloves and a rake.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka694 views
I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Colombo for 22 years. After the storm in October, 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 six 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.
I hope life is good to you.
