Yard rescue for Eliane, 83: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Eliane, 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 Guarulhos for 36 years. After the storm in April, 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 twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

Keep going, Eliane. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from London.
This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
