Volunteers wanted: Maurício's yard after the storm
Maurício, 81, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Campinas for 23 years. After the storm in March, 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 eight 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.
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Maurício. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Maurício. Wishing Maurício a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
sending good thoughts, Maurício. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. After 14 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck, Maurício. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
