A day in the garden: help Roberto in Duque de Caxias
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Roberto's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇧🇷 Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil1,193 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Duque de Caxias for 34 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 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you, Roberto. 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, Roberto. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best!
