A day in the garden: help Bola in Badagry
Bola, 71, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Badagry for 44 years. After the storm in August, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength, Bola. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Nairobi.
hope it all works out, Bola. Hope this works out for you.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Kazan

Praying for you, Bola. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
You're not alone, Bola. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Tlaquepaque donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Keep going, Bola. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending good thoughts, Bola. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Reims this morning. Thinking of Badagry
