Volunteers wanted: Fernando's yard after the storm
Fernando, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇲🇽 Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico551 views
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Xalapa for 35 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 a recent fall.
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: 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon, Fernando. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Xalapa.
