Companionship wanted: Zubby's local history and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Zubby is asking for.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria232 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Zubby, who's 76. Zubby lives alone in Lagos, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Zubby loves local history, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Seyi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in San Diego but we're thinking of you. Greetings from San Diego!
sending good thoughts, Seyi. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Makati this morning. Take care.
You're not alone, Seyi. Get well soon. Don't give up. Blessings.
Sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
