Yard rescue for André, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking André's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Guarulhos for 42 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 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.

Stay strong, André. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Guarulhos.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
wishing you the best, André. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Grenoble donated after I showed her your page. Love from Grenoble
Wishing you the best, André. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Guarulhos!
Praying for you, André. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, André. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
so sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you, André. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Multan.
Keep going, André. Get well soon.
Take care, André. Wishing André a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
