Yard rescue for Hauwa, 73: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Hauwa's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria953 views
I'm 73 and I have lived in this house in Lagos for 35 years. After the storm in April, 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Hauwa. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Uppsala.
thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Lagos
Hang in there, Hauwa. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Hauwa. Shared this with my family. Greetings from León.
