Yard rescue for Maria, 89: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Maria, 89, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Ribeirão Preto for 21 years. After the storm in July, 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 poor eyesight. The council has told me it will be ten 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. I hope life is good to you.

    Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
