Yard rescue for Rosângela, 86: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Rosângela, 86, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 86 and I have lived in this house in Campinas for 26 years. After the storm in November, 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 my hip replacement.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Amiens
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from San Francisco
