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

I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Zapopan for 26 years. After the storm in February, 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 my hip replacement.
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: 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.

Rooting for you, Patricia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Good luck, Patricia. Shared this with my family. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending good thoughts, Patricia. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Coventry.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Toulouse
hang in there, Patricia. Hope you get there. Thinking of Zapopan.
