Volunteers wanted: Richard's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Richard's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Accra for 43 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 poor eyesight.
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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
