Volunteers wanted: Halima's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Halima's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria1,529 views
I'm 77 and I have lived in this house in Ibadan for 35 years. After the storm in December, 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 twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Bristol but we're thinking of you
Keep going, Halima. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care.
