A day in the garden: help Paul in Badagry
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Paul's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria332 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Badagry for 31 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

take care, Paul. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Good luck, Paul. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Badagry.
Praying for you, Paul. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours.
get well soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending love, Paul. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick!
