Companionship wanted: Joseph's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Joseph lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya844 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Joseph, who's 79. Joseph lives alone in Nairobi, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Joseph loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Addis Ababa donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
best of luck, Mugisha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up.
Hang in there, Mugisha. Wishing Joseph a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
