Clear storm damage from Mercy's garden in Abuja

Mercy, 74, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Abuja for 28 years. After the storm in September, 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 six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Thank you so much.

  • Thanks for sharing this, Mercy. I hope things turn around soon.

    • Thinking of you and your family, Mercy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Lapu-Lapu.

      • thanks for sharing this, Mercy. Wishing Mercy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
