A day in the garden: help Lúcia in Campinas
Lúcia, 78, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇧🇷 Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil449 views
I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Campinas for 41 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 arthritis.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Love from Brescia
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
take care, Lúcia. Hope you get there
Wishing you the best, Lúcia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up.
