Yard rescue for Gonzalo, 75: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Gonzalo, 75, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

La Plata
I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in La Plata for 34 years. After the storm in May, 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 poor eyesight. The council has told me it will be six 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

          Wishing you the best, Gonzalo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
