A day in the garden: help Fatima in Ikeja
Fatima, 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 Ikeja for 37 years. After the storm in September, 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

take care, Fatima. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Ikeja
Hang in there, Fatima. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest!
hope it all works out, Fatima. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Good luck, Fatima. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
