A weekly visit for Brian, 77, who lives alone in Embakasi
Looking for a friendly person in Embakasi to visit Brian once a week.
🇰🇪 Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya179 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Brian, who's 77. Brian lives alone in Embakasi, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Brian loves crossword puzzles, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Arusha.
Thanks for sharing this, Florence. Your post was clear and honest.
so sorry you're going through this. Wishing Brian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Rooting for you, Florence. Hope the doctors have good news.
