A weekly visit for Sarah, 93, who lives alone in Zanzibar City
Sarah lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Sarah, who's 93. Sarah lives alone in Zanzibar City, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Sarah loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.

Shared this with my family. Greetings from Mississauga
Keep going, Imani. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Siliguri donated after I showed her your page. Love from Siliguri.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Gold Coast but we're thinking of you.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless!
Thinking of you and your family, Imani. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
thinking of you, Imani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Keep going, Imani. Get well soon. All the best.
Sending strength, Imani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Zanzibar City.
thinking of you and your family, Imani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
