Yard rescue for Luís, 71: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Luís, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇧🇷 Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil1,353 views
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Ribeirão Preto for 26 years. After the storm in December, 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 twelve 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Luís. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 18 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from San Antonio.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Dodoma.
