Clear storm damage from Mercedes's garden in Iztapalapa

Garden rescue day in Iztapalapa: bring gloves and a rake.

Iztapalapa
I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Iztapalapa for 33 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 eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
