Volunteers wanted: Greta's yard after the storm
Greta, 87, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇮🇹 Rome, Lazio, Italy574 views
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Rome for 26 years. After the storm in November, 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 six 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care. This could happen to any of us. I hope January is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Greta. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
You're not alone, Greta. Hope you get there. Sent it to 14 people at work. God bless.
Thinking of you, Greta. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Sending love, Greta. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Greta. Hope this works out for you.
hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Ciudad de México
Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Rome
Sending good thoughts, Greta. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Contagem but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon, Greta. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 30 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Keep going, Greta. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Greta. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Mar del Plata so I could bring a meal. Love from Manchester.
Best of luck, Greta. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
hope it all works out, Greta. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Madina so I could bring a meal. God bless.
