Companionship wanted: Queen's baking and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Badagry to visit Queen once a week.

Badagry
I'm writing for my neighbor Queen, who's 76. Queen lives alone in Badagry, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 321 kilometers away. Queen loves baking, 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. Glad we found this place.
