Could you share an hour a week with Apio?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Apio is asking for.
🇹🇿 Zanzibar City, Zanzibar Urban/West, Tanzania724 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Apio, who's 83. Apio lives alone in Zanzibar City, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Apio loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Kimani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Wellington.

Hang in there, Kimani. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
