Yard rescue for Vanessa, 85: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Vanessa, 85, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in São Paulo for 39 years. After the storm in May, 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 eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in East London this morning.
Stay strong, Vanessa. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Best of luck. Wishing Vanessa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
best of luck. Get well soon. My neighbor in Kolkata donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of São Paulo
So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Biratnagar.
