A day in the garden: help Festus in Epe
Garden rescue day in Epe: bring gloves and a rake.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria294 views
I'm 84 and I have lived in this house in Epe for 35 years. After the storm in February, 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 arthritis.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

thinking of you, Festus. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope it all works out, Festus. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
