Yard rescue for Halima, 89: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Halima, 89, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 89 and I have lived in this house in Lagos for 33 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 recent fall.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Kasarani this morning.
