A weekly visit for Bolaji, 87, who lives alone in Lagos
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Bolaji is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Bolaji, who's 87. Bolaji lives alone in Lagos, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Bolaji loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

This could happen to any of us. After 20 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Lagos
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 26 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Lagos.
