A day in the garden: help Victor in Ikeja

Victor, 73, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Ikeja
I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Ikeja for 26 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 my hip replacement. 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.
