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

I'm writing for my neighbor Mensah, who's 87. Mensah lives alone in Accra, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Mensah loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

Wishing you the best, Akua. Get well soon. Please keep us posted.
Thanks for sharing this, Akua. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Keep going, Akua. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Bandung.
