Could you share an hour a week with Adaeze?

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

Asaba
I'm writing for my neighbor Adaeze, who's 78. Adaeze lives alone in Asaba, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Adaeze loves birdwatching, 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
