A weekly visit for Yaw, 75, who lives alone in Takoradi
Yaw lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Yaw, who's 75. Yaw lives alone in Takoradi, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Yaw loves cricket, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you, Kwaku. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Bengaluru donated after I showed her your page.
looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Takoradi.
