Yard rescue for Tunde, 91: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Tunde, 91, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we're looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 91 and I have lived in this house in Nnewi for 21 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 arthritis.
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: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. 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.

Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Johannesburg
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. After 17 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
