Yard rescue for Silvia, 82: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Silvia's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Bogotá for 44 years. After the storm in February, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Verona donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Keep going, Silvia. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
