A weekly visit for Anyango, 93, who lives alone in Dodoma
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Anyango is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Anyango, who's 93. Anyango lives alone in Dodoma, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Anyango loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Best of luck, Sarah. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Jerusalem
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Keep going, Sarah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 22 people at work. God bless.
