Companionship wanted: Rita's knitting and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Rita is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rita, who's 84. Rita lives alone in Accra, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Rita loves knitting, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Stay strong, Gloria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Mwanza
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Stuttgart.
