A weekly visit for Yinka, 78, who lives alone in Kano
Yinka lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Yinka, who's 78. Yinka lives alone in Kano, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Yinka loves chess, 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.
Glad we found this place.

hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you and your family, Seyi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
