Companionship wanted: Mwangi's old films and a cup of tea
Mwangi lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇰🇪 Kisumu, Kisumu, Kenya293 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Mwangi, who's 74. Mwangi lives alone in Kisumu, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 650 kilometers away.
Mwangi loves old films, 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.
I hope life is good to you.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Kisumu. I'll ask around and let you know!
Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
Thinking of you, Kiprop. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Get well soon. Sent it to 39 people at work. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Wishing Mwangi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Kisumu.
Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Bandung.
Stay strong, Kiprop. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Best of luck, Kiprop. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Sending good thoughts, Kiprop. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Liverpool
good luck, Kiprop. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
