Volunteers wanted: Abril's yard after the storm
Abril, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇪🇸 Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain431 views
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Alcalá de Henares for 36 years. After the storm in March, 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: 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Abril. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
best of luck. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Gwagwalada but we're thinking of you

Get well soon. My neighbor in Aurora donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck, Abril. Wishing Abril a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Port Harcourt
