Yard rescue for Okechukwu, 91: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Okechukwu's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇳🇬 Enugu, Enugu, Nigeria864 views
I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Enugu for 35 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 my hip replacement.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Okechukwu. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
take care, Okechukwu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Mapo.
so sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
praying for you, Okechukwu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending good thoughts, Okechukwu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Los Angeles.
