A day in the garden: help Okechukwu in Lagos
Okechukwu, 80, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,115 views
I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Lagos for 31 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 poor eyesight.
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: 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Okechukwu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Lagos.
Hope things get better soon, Okechukwu. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Hang in there, Okechukwu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Madina so I could bring a meal. Take care.
