Yard rescue for Joaquín, 79: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Joaquín's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Tarragona for 21 years. After the storm in September, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Joaquín. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Joaquín. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Thanks for sharing this, Joaquín. Wishing Joaquín a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Petrópolis.
Thanks for sharing this, Joaquín. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Tema donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
