Yard rescue for Joaquín, 81: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Garden rescue day in La Plata: bring gloves and a rake.

La Plata
I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in La Plata for 40 years. After the storm in October, 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 eight 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.
