Companionship wanted: Bello's knitting and a cup of tea

Bello lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Bello, who's 80. Bello lives alone in Lagos, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Bello loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

        Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
