I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Ciudad de México for 35 years. After the storm in June, 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 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

    • Wishing Soledad a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Cali
