Clear storm damage from Andrés's garden in Xalapa
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Andrés's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇲🇽 Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico569 views
I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Xalapa for 50 years. After the storm in August, 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 heart condition.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Andrés. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 17 people at work. Blessings!
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Istanbul.
Sending love. Wishing Andrés a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
