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.

Onitsha
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.

        • So sorry you're going through this, Adaeze. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
