Volunteers wanted: Letícia's yard after the storm
Letícia, 73, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Rio de Janeiro for 42 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 poor eyesight.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Letícia. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope it all works out, Letícia. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
