Clear storm damage from Manuela's garden in Santos
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Manuela's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇧🇷 Santos, São Paulo, Brazil435 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Santos for 36 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
