Companionship wanted: Muthoni's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Mwanza to visit Muthoni once a week.

Mwanza
I'm writing for my neighbor Muthoni, who's 73. Muthoni lives alone in Mwanza, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Muthoni loves crossword puzzles, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Helped when no one else could

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Great help in a difficult time

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.
