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
