A weekly visit for Caroline, 89, who lives alone in Thika
Caroline lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Caroline, who's 89. Caroline lives alone in Thika, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Caroline loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you the best, Jepkoech. This could happen to any of us.
You're not alone. Wishing Caroline a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from New Delhi
