Yard rescue for Nneka, 83: fallen trees and overgrown beds

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

I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Badagry for 25 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 a heart condition. 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: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Thank you so much.

              Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Toulon so I could bring a meal.

                    thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

                      Hope things get better soon, Nneka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Liverpool.

                        wishing you peace, Nneka. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
