Yard rescue for Yewande, 91: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Yewande, 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 Ibadan 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 six 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings!
Good luck, Yewande. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Dnipro this morning
