Companionship wanted: Nebiyu's local history and a cup of tea
Nebiyu lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇪🇹 Jimma, Oromia, Ethiopia226 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Nebiyu, who's 81. Nebiyu lives alone in Jimma, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Nebiyu loves local history, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone. Wishing Nebiyu a smooth procedure and a full recovery
your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Cầu Giấy donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Best of luck, Eden. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Louisville but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Louisville
