Patti Gorman has this to share: A lovely, young (43) Brazilian man, who used to be a student of mine, is looking for pick up work. Here is what he wrote to me: "I can help fixing stuff in the house , some yard work, some home chores (laundry, cooking, light cleaning), I can pick up stuff and deliver to them (grocery, meds)." He is congenial, smart, capable, hardworking. He lives on Capitol. Hill. Ricardo Franca can be reached at: 347-695-5165 or ricardocgf@gmail.com
