Yard rescue for Marcos, 76: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Recife: bring gloves and a rake.
🇧🇷 Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil1,430 views
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Recife for 36 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 recent fall.
The council has told me it will be six 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.

hang in there, Marcos. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Wishing you peace, Marcos. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Love from Karachi.
Good luck, Marcos. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Recife
Hope it all works out, Marcos. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Zapopan donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Recife.
Keep going, Marcos. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
