A weekly visit for Odhiambo, 90, who lives alone in Mombasa
Looking for a friendly person in Mombasa to visit Odhiambo once a week.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya573 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Odhiambo, who's 90. Odhiambo lives alone in Mombasa, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 266 kilometers away.
Odhiambo loves gardening, 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Imani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Praying for you, Imani. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Salvador so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Mombasa.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Comilla but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you peace, Imani. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
wishing Odhiambo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending good thoughts, Imani. Shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
best of luck. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Anaheim this morning. Greetings from Anaheim.
