A weekly visit for David, 72, who lives alone in Thika
David lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor David, who's 72. David lives alone in Thika, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
David loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
Thank you so much.

praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
wishing David a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Thika.
thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Quetta donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Maina. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
