A day in the garden: help Rubén in Tlaquepaque
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Rubén's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇲🇽 Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico985 views
I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Tlaquepaque for 32 years. After the storm in July, 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Shared this with my family. After 18 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
