A weekly visit for Esther, 78, who lives alone in Onitsha
Esther lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Esther, who's 78. Esther lives alone in Onitsha, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Esther loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace, Adaeze. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Aurangabad.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Esther a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Onitsha.
So sorry you're going through this, Adaeze. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
