Clear storm damage from Marco's garden in Catania

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Marco's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Catania
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Catania for 38 years. After the storm in February, 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 recent fall. The council has told me it will be twelve 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Hang in there, Marco. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Naivasha so I could bring a meal.

    • Tomás A. Urbina

      Sending strength, Marco. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      • Anthony K. Brewer
