Yard rescue for Oshadi, 86: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Galle: bring gloves and a rake.
🇱🇰 80054, Galle, Southern, Sri Lanka1,272 views
I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Galle for 44 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 heart condition.
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.

Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. Love from San Diego!
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Galle.
