Volunteers wanted: Ifeanyi's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Kano: bring gloves and a rake.
🇳🇬 Kano, Kano, Nigeria968 views
I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Kano for 20 years. After the storm in June, 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 a recent fall.
The council has told me it will be ten 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
rooting for you. Wishing Ifeanyi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from San Francisco
So sorry you're going through this, Ifeanyi. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Surabaya.
Sending love, Ifeanyi. Shared this with my family. God bless.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Santa Fe this morning.
You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope this works out for you. After 27 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Ifeanyi. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Mwanza.
