Yard rescue for Ingrid, 82: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Ingrid, 82, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in São Paulo for 40 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 my hip replacement.
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: 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Abbottabad this morning. Thinking of São Paulo.
Sending love, Ingrid. Get well soon!
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings!

Praying for you, Ingrid. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from San Diego.
You're not alone, Ingrid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of São Paulo
