Clear storm damage from Fábio's garden in Campinas
Fábio, 74, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Campinas for 30 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Fábio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
good luck, Fábio. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Soweto this morning. Take care.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Pune.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Best of luck. Wishing Fábio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
