Clear storm damage from Omar's garden in Barcelona
Garden rescue day in Barcelona: bring gloves and a rake.
🇪🇸 08056, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain1,171 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Barcelona for 28 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 my hip replacement.
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.
Thank you so much.

Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Odesa.
Good luck, Omar. I hope things turn around soon. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Barcelona
Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
