Yard rescue for Shahana, 91: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Shahana's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Mumbai for 23 years. After the storm in December, 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 arthritis.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Shahana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Mumbai.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Thika so I could bring a meal. Love from Epe.
