A day in the garden: help Blessing in Nsukka
Blessing, 75, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 75 and I have lived in this house in Nsukka for 30 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 my hip replacement.
The council has told me it will be six 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 so much.

Take care, Blessing. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Blessing. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Santa Rosa this morning. All the best
thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
