Clear storm damage from Mónica's garden in Buffalo
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Mónica's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Buffalo for 44 years. After the storm in December, 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 ten 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Mónica. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Maringá so I could bring a meal. Love from Howrah.
