A day in the garden: help Carmen in Iztapalapa
Carmen, 72, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇲🇽 09034, Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico1,068 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Iztapalapa for 39 years. After the storm in January, 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 ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
