A weekly visit for Barasa, 87, who lives alone in Kisumu
Barasa lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Barasa, who's 87. Barasa lives alone in Kisumu, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Barasa loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kisumu!
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Khon Kaen.
so sorry you're going through this, Mwanaisha. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
