A weekly visit for Nebiyu, 82, who lives alone in Bahir Dar
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Nebiyu is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Nebiyu, who's 82. Nebiyu lives alone in Bahir Dar, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Nebiyu loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Nagpur.
Sending strength, Ruth. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Sending love, Ruth. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Jakarta Barat
Take care, Ruth. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Bahir Dar.
So sorry you're going through this, Ruth. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
