A weekly visit for Paul, 75, who lives alone in Ikeja
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Paul is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Paul, who's 75. Paul lives alone in Ikeja, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 554 kilometers away.
Paul loves gardening, 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.
I hope life is good to you.

The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.
