A day in the garden: help Comfort in Lagos
Comfort, 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 Lagos for 27 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 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: 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 hope life is good to you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Tokyo
Wishing you the best, Comfort. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Lagos.
Wishing you the best, Comfort. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Blessings.
