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

I'm writing for my neighbor Victor, who's 77. Victor lives alone in Kisumu, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Victor loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Kano but we're thinking of you. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Juma. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Hope it all works out, Juma. Shared this with my family. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Kisumu
rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Jodhpur.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Nashik.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Khon Kaen this morning. Love from Khon Kaen.
hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in New Orleans donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kisumu
take care, Juma. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Sending love, Juma. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Kisumu.
