Volunteers wanted: Lawrence's yard after the storm
Lawrence, 79, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.
🇬🇭 GT-274-7228, Tema, Greater Accra, Ghana715 views
I'm 79 and I have lived in this house in Tema for 34 years. After the storm in August, 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
