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

I'm writing for my neighbor Godwin, who's 75. Godwin lives alone in Ikeja, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 824 kilometers away.
Godwin 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.
Glad we found this place.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Rohini.
