A weekly visit for Ochieng, 79, who lives alone in Mbale
Looking for a friendly person in Mbale to visit Ochieng once a week.
🇺🇬 Mbale, Eastern Region, Uganda895 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Ochieng, who's 79. Ochieng lives alone in Mbale, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Ochieng loves cricket, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Mbale.
You're not alone, Lucy. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Sending strength, Lucy. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Keep going, Lucy. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
