Yard rescue for Urvashi, 84: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Mumbai: bring gloves and a rake.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,752 views
I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Mumbai for 41 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. 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. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Leeds
