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

I'm writing for my neighbor Lanre, who's 88. Lanre lives alone in Lagos, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Lanre loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

Rooting for you, Victor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Lagos
