Yard rescue for Maria, 82: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Maria's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇧🇷 Maringá, Paraná, Brazil685 views
I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Maringá for 45 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 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.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 30 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Likoni.
