Yard rescue for Cristian, 91: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Cristian's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Bogotá for 36 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 my hip replacement.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck. Wishing Cristian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Curitiba.
Wishing Cristian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 18 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Stay strong, Cristian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Bogotá.
Wishing you the best, Cristian. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Take care, Cristian. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Jacksonville.
