Companionship wanted: Chebet's local history and a cup of tea
Chebet lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya272 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Chebet, who's 77. Chebet lives alone in Kasarani, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Chebet loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Epe this morning. Blessings.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Tema
Sending good thoughts, Brian. Wishing Chebet a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. Love from San Francisco.
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Antalya.
Hope things get better soon, Brian. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 29 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
