A weekly visit for Kimani, 72, who lives alone in Embakasi
Kimani lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇰🇪 00529, Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya726 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Kimani, who's 72. Kimani lives alone in Embakasi, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Kimani loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

Sending strength, Faith. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Sacramento.
Take care, Faith. Hope the doctors have good news
Thinking of you. Get well soon. After 7 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
so sorry you're going through this, Faith. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings
Praying for you, Faith. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Hồ Chà Minh City but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Hồ Chà Minh City.
Rooting for you, Faith. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Faith. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Rochester
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Embakasi.

Hope things get better soon, Faith. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Swansea.
Thinking of you and your family, Faith. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope you get there. Thinking of Embakasi
