Yard rescue for Andrea, 79: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Palermo: bring gloves and a rake.
🇮🇹 Palermo, Sicily, Italy808 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Palermo for 31 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 arthritis.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this, Andrea. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Yonkers so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Andrea. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Palermo.
