Yard rescue for Gbenga, 76: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Garden rescue day in Gwagwalada: bring gloves and a rake.
🇳🇬 Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT, Nigeria116 views
I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Gwagwalada for 35 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 poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be twelve 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Gbenga. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Gangnam but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this, Gbenga. Get well soon. Sent it to 10 people at work.
Take care, Gbenga. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Greetings from Kazan.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Barcelona donated after I showed her your page.
Good luck, Gbenga. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Gwagwalada
