A day in the garden: help Anderson in Belo Horizonte
Anderson, 86, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Belo Horizonte for 36 years. After the storm in March, 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: 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Belo Horizonte
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Belo Horizonte.
Hope things get better soon, Anderson. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Bangkok.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Best of luck, Anderson. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending good thoughts, Anderson. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you
