A day in the garden: help Karina in Xalapa

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Karina's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Xalapa
I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Xalapa for 40 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 recent fall. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
