Yard rescue for Eliane, 78: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Recife: bring gloves and a rake.
🇧🇷 50016-097, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil810 views
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
Shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
