A weekly visit for Halima, 78, who lives alone in Lagos
Looking for a friendly person in Lagos to visit Halima once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Halima, who's 78. Halima lives alone in Lagos, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Halima loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love, Seyi. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Love from Dar es Salaam.
Hang in there. Wishing Halima a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Seyi. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless!
