A day in the garden: help Adriana in Coyoacán
Adriana, 91, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇲🇽 Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico416 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Coyoacán for 22 years. After the storm in October, 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: 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.

good luck, Adriana. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Pretoria.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. God bless
Wishing you peace, Adriana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Good luck. Wishing Adriana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Hang in there, Adriana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 28 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
