Yard rescue for Marcos, 86: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Coatzacoalcos: bring gloves and a rake.
🇲🇽 Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico144 views
I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Coatzacoalcos for 41 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 recent fall.
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: 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.

Best of luck, Marcos. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 27 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
