Companionship wanted: Fikru's gardening and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Fikru is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Fikru, who's 75. Fikru lives alone in Addis Ababa, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Fikru loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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 so much.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Gliwice!
Thinking of you and your family, Yonas. Looking forward to the next update. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Johannesburg.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Good luck, Yonas. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Madrid.
wishing you the best, Yonas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
