A weekly visit for Irene, 87, who lives alone in Accra
Irene lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Irene, who's 87. Irene lives alone in Accra, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 354 kilometers away.
Irene loves birdwatching, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Adjoa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Chennai.
hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Glasgow.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Wishing you peace, Adjoa. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Madrid but we're thinking of you. God bless
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
so sorry you're going through this. Wishing Irene a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
