Yard rescue for Eliane, 78: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Garden rescue day in Recife: bring gloves and a rake.

Recife
I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Recife for 24 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 a recent fall. 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Glad we found this place.

    Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
