A day in the garden: help Lola in Lagos
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Lola's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Lagos for 31 years. After the storm in July, 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 twelve 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.
Thank you so much.

sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
take care, Lola. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 24 people at work. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Lola. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
