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

I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in São Paulo for 38 years. After the storm in August, 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 twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of São Paulo.
Keep going, Raquel. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Yonkers

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Boston.
