Companionship wanted: Ssebuliba's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Ssebuliba lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ssebuliba, who's 91. Ssebuliba lives alone in Kinondoni, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Ssebuliba loves crossword puzzles, 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.

Hope this works out for you. Love from Hanoi.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings!
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Zapopan
Thinking of you, Margaret. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care.
