Companionship wanted: Abosede's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Abosede is asking for.
🇳🇬 Awka, Anambra, Nigeria1,065 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Abosede, who's 73. Abosede lives alone in Awka, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Abosede loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck, Samuel. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Awka.
Hope it all works out, Samuel. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
Sending good thoughts, Samuel. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
