Companionship wanted: Caroline's baking and a cup of tea
Caroline lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Caroline, who's 94. Caroline lives alone in Mbarara, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Caroline loves baking, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you, Mercy. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Take care!
Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Mbarara
hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care!
