Clear storm damage from Óscar's garden in Buenos Aires

Óscar, 74, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Buenos Aires
I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Buenos Aires for 26 years. After the storm in October, 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 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 hope life is good to you.

    Hang in there, Óscar. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless

        Good luck, Óscar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
