Volunteers wanted: Uchenna's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Uchenna's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,073 views
I'm 82 and I have lived in this house in Abuja for 22 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 poor eyesight.
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: 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.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Rawalpindi.
sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
