Yard rescue for Varun, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Varun's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇮🇳 Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India211 views
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Kanpur for 33 years. After the storm in June, 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: 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Kanpur.
Best of luck, Varun. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
