A day in the garden: help Giovana in Maringá
Giovana, 92, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Maringá for 28 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 recent fall.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Keep going. Shared this with my family. God bless
You're not alone, Giovana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Vitória da Conquista.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Dublin.
Rooting for you, Giovana. Shared it with a few friends. After 9 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings!
Thanks for sharing this, Giovana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
wishing you the best, Giovana. This could happen to any of us.
Thanks for sharing this, Giovana. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Stuttgart this morning. Love from Stuttgart.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 8 people at work.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope things get better soon, Giovana. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
