A weekly visit for Funmilayo, 82, who lives alone in Enugu
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Funmilayo is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Funmilayo, who's 82. Funmilayo lives alone in Enugu, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Funmilayo loves cricket, 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 for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Musa. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Musa. Wishing Funmilayo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Enugu
