Volunteers wanted: Paula's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Medellín: bring gloves and a rake.
🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia1,313 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Medellín for 45 years. After the storm in May, 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 ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.

Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Cebu City.
You're not alone, Paula. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
