Volunteers wanted: Francisco's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Rio de Janeiro: bring gloves and a rake.
🇧🇷 20051-732, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil529 views
I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Rio de Janeiro for 30 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 a recent fall.
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: 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 for reading my story.

stay strong, Francisco. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings!
Praying for you, Francisco. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.
Sending love, Francisco. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. God bless
Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Mumbai.
wishing you the best. Wishing Francisco a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Dar es Salaam but we're thinking of you.
