Yard rescue for Marcos, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Marcos, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Campinas for 36 years. After the storm in September, 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Marcos. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Campinas
sending strength, Marcos. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
So sorry you're going through this, Marcos. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
Stay strong, Marcos. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Thane donated after I showed her your page.
Sending love, Marcos. Gave what I could, wish it was more.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Warri this morning. Thinking of Campinas.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Campinas.
