Yard rescue for Armando, 83: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Armando, 83, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Mérida for 26 years. After the storm in June, 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 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.

Sending strength, Armando. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Accra
Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless
so sorry you're going through this, Armando. Shared this with my family. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Mumbai.
Stay strong, Armando. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
