A day in the garden: help Abosede in Gwagwalada
Garden rescue day in Gwagwalada: bring gloves and a rake.
🇳🇬 902775, Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT, Nigeria432 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Gwagwalada for 36 years. After the storm in October, 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 poor eyesight.
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: 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Abosede. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Gwagwalada.

Rooting for you, Abosede. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
