Yard rescue for Bola, 89: fallen trees and overgrown beds

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Bola's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Lagos 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 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: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. 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.
