A day in the garden: help Josiane in Pelotas
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Josiane's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Pelotas for 48 years. After the storm in December, 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 twelve 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck, Josiane. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Shared this with my family. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
Wishing Josiane a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Siliguri.
