A weekly visit for Kofi, 88, who lives alone in Accra
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Kofi is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Kofi, who's 88. Kofi lives alone in Accra, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Kofi 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Abena. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best
Wishing you peace, Abena. Hope you get there. All the best.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Epe.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Sydney.
wishing you peace, Abena. Hope the doctors have good news.
Wishing Kofi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together.
Rooting for you, Abena. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Multan
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
So sorry you're going through this, Abena. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Austin
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Bakersfield.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
