A weekly visit for Haile, 73, who lives alone in Mekelle
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Haile is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Haile, who's 73. Haile lives alone in Mekelle, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Haile loves baking, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Gebre. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together.
Hope things get better soon, Gebre. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
