A day in the garden: help Layla in Latina
Layla, 81, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy949 views
I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Latina for 40 years. After the storm in May, 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 poor eyesight.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in São Paulo but we're thinking of you. Love from São Paulo.
Good luck, Layla. I hope things turn around soon. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength, Layla. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. After 23 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Latina!
Rooting for you, Layla. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
