Yard rescue for Sapna, 87: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Surat: bring gloves and a rake.
🇮🇳 Surat, Gujarat, India752 views
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Surat for 39 years. After the storm in March, 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
