Yard rescue for Bukola, 72: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Awka: bring gloves and a rake.
🇳🇬 420499, Awka, Anambra, Nigeria326 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Awka for 26 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 arthritis.
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: 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Bonny this morning.
Sending love, Bukola. Hope this works out for you.
Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Madina but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Madina.
