Volunteers wanted: Mercedes's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Vigo: bring gloves and a rake.
🇪🇸 Vigo, Galicia, Spain1,225 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Vigo for 45 years. After the storm in July, 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 heart condition.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

best of luck. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Vigo.
Hope it all works out, Mercedes. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
You're not alone, Mercedes. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Kyiv.
thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Mercedes. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
