A weekly visit for Abubakar, 76, who lives alone in Ikeja
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Abubakar is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Abubakar, who's 76. Abubakar lives alone in Ikeja, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Abubakar loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone. Wishing Abubakar a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Hang in there, Ronke. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
take care. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
