A day in the garden: help Mauricio in Madrid
Mauricio, 90, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 90 and I have lived in this house in Madrid for 41 years. After the storm in March, 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 eight 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going, Mauricio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Wishing Mauricio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Mérida!
