Clear storm damage from Yewande's garden in Bonny
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Yewande's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇳🇬 Bonny, Rivers, Nigeria1,285 views
I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Bonny for 48 years. After the storm in November, 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 twelve 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Yewande. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless
Wishing you the best, Yewande. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Ann Arbor so I could bring a meal.
Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Laredo
sending love, Yewande. Wishing Yewande a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Greetings from Mumbai

Best of luck, Yewande. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 5 people at work. Take care
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Seattle donated after I showed her your page.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Hope this works out for you. After 6 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
