Companionship wanted: Mekdes's baking and a cup of tea
Mekdes lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia388 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Mekdes, who's 77. Mekdes lives alone in Addis Ababa, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Mekdes loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Yodit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Nuremberg.
Sending love, Yodit. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Yodit. Get well soon. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Yodit. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Best of luck. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
