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

I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Lagos for 22 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 arthritis.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.

Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Love from Buenos Aires!
so sorry you're going through this, Uchenna. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Bonny so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Lagos
