Yard rescue for Usman, 76: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Usman's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Ibadan for 38 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 heart condition.
The council has told me it will be six 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Usman. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Ibadan.
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Usman a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Rooting for you, Usman. Gave what I could, wish it was more
