Companionship wanted: Chidi's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Chidi is asking for.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria747 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Chidi, who's 82. Chidi lives alone in Ikeja, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 676 kilometers away.
Chidi loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Grace. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Sending love, Grace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Pasig.
hope you get there. Thinking of Ikeja.

You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Ikeja.
Sending strength, Grace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal. God bless

Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Bogotá.
Hang in there, Grace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 8 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
