Clear storm damage from Álvaro's garden in Tlaquepaque
Álvaro, 76, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Tlaquepaque for 32 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 a recent fall.
The council has told me it will be twelve 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Álvaro. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Rio de Janeiro.
Thinking of you, Álvaro. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Take care, Álvaro. Get well soon. All the best.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Flint but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Álvaro. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Augsburg this morning. Love from Augsburg!
Hope things get better soon, Álvaro. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Addis Ababa.
hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
