Yard rescue for Lucía, 92: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Barranquilla: bring gloves and a rake.
🇨🇴 Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia700 views
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Barranquilla for 21 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 a heart condition.
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.
I hope life is good to you.
