Yard rescue for Vikas, 71: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Vikas, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇮🇳 Siliguri, West Bengal, India1,147 views
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Siliguri for 38 years. After the storm in April, 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Thane.
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Tema
