Volunteers wanted: Chidi's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Chidi's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria667 views
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Abuja for 25 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 eight 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Noida
Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Take care, Chidi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Birmingham.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
