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

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Medellín for 43 years. After the storm in August, 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 eight 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Nicolás. This could happen to any of us. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Medellín.
Wishing you the best, Nicolás. Get well soon. Thinking of Medellín
Sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 29 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
