Yard rescue for Tanvir, 72: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Tanvir, 72, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh485 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Dhaka for 45 years. After the storm in August, 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 six 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
