Clear storm damage from Mona's garden in Heliopolis
Garden rescue day in Heliopolis: bring gloves and a rake.

I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Heliopolis for 29 years. After the storm in July, 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 19 people at work. All the best
Best of luck. Get well soon. Thinking of Heliopolis
Hang in there, Mona. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Guarulhos.
