Companionship wanted: Bola's cricket and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Ikeja to visit Bola once a week.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,138 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Bola, who's 77. Bola lives alone in Ikeja, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Bola loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out, Grace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope it all works out, Grace. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
you're not alone, Grace. Get well soon
