I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Coyoacán for 34 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 eight 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.

thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Marseille.
Stay strong, Ángel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Coyoacán.
