Companionship wanted: Rotimi's local history and a cup of tea

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Rotimi is asking for.

Warri
I'm writing for my neighbor Rotimi, who's 92. Rotimi lives alone in Warri, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Rotimi loves local history, 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.

    Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mumbai.

    • Emilia Rios

      Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Kasarani so I could bring a meal. All the best.
