Yard rescue for Sharmin, 87: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Gazipur: bring gloves and a rake.
🇧🇩 Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,233 views
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Gazipur for 49 years. After the storm in May, 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 eight 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
