Yard rescue for Yinka, 87: fallen trees and overgrown beds
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Yinka's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.
🇳🇬 Wudil, Kano, Nigeria1,050 views
I'm 87 and I have lived in this house in Wudil for 40 years. After the storm in May, 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 twelve 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
