A weekly visit for Danjuma, 80, who lives alone in Port Harcourt
Danjuma lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Danjuma, who's 80. Danjuma lives alone in Port Harcourt, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Danjuma loves baking, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Bogotá so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Nashik
Thinking of you, Grace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Thinking of you, Grace. Wishing Danjuma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Sheffield but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Port Harcourt!
