Volunteers wanted: Yewande's yard after the storm

Garden rescue day in Badagry: bring gloves and a rake.

Badagry
I'm 74 and I have lived in this house in Badagry for 23 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 heart condition. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
