Yard rescue for Lúcia, 86: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Lúcia's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇧🇷 Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil573 views
I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Caxias do Sul for 37 years. After the storm in August, 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 ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Fresno donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Khulna.
