Clear storm damage from José's garden in Ribeirão Preto
José, 91, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Ribeirão Preto for 36 years. After the storm in May, 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 arthritis.
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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength, José. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Lowell but we're thinking of you.
