Volunteers wanted: Márcio's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Márcio's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Niterói for 44 years. After the storm in February, 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 arthritis.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

praying for you, Márcio. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 18 people at work. Greetings from Epe
Wishing Márcio a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Lagos.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Márcio. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up. Thinking of Niterói
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Márcio. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. All the best
Best of luck, Márcio. Wishing Márcio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
