Clear storm damage from Iván's garden in Barcelona
Garden rescue day in Barcelona: bring gloves and a rake.
🇪🇸 08011, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain1,134 views
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Barcelona for 28 years. After the storm in April, 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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Vitória da Conquista.
