Volunteers wanted: Luigi's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Messina: bring gloves and a rake.
🇮🇹 Messina, Sicily, Italy388 views
I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Messina for 39 years. After the storm in June, 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: 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal.
Stay strong, Luigi. Hope you get there. God bless!
Sending strength, Luigi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. God bless
