I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Santos for 28 years. After the storm in July, 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 ten 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    • Keep going, Gabriel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.

      • I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Multan this morning. Thinking of Santos.

        • Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
