A weekly visit for Adewale, 92, who lives alone in Kaduna
Adewale lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Adewale, who's 92. Adewale lives alone in Kaduna, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Adewale loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.

Sending love, Comfort. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Tokyo this morning. God bless.
Sending strength, Comfort. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Abuja so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Kaduna
Hang in there, Comfort. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Kaduna.
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
sending good thoughts, Comfort. Get well soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Kaduna!
Rooting for you, Comfort. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Love from Manila.
