A day in the garden: help Simone in Niterói

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Simone's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Niterói
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Niterói for 35 years. After the storm in January, 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 ten 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. Glad we found this place.

    Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Niterói.

    • You're not alone, Simone. Gave what I could, wish it was more
