Companionship wanted: Modupe's local history and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Modupe is asking for.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria594 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Modupe, who's 94. Modupe lives alone in Lagos, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 203 kilometers away.
Modupe loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Thinking of you and your family, Kayode. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lagos.
