Could you share an hour a week with Bakari?
Bakari lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Bakari, who's 86. Bakari lives alone in Kakamega, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 275 kilometers away.
Bakari loves opera, 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.

sending good thoughts, Anyango. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Anyango. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Kakamega
Take care, Anyango. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Kakamega
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Lille.
Wishing you the best, Anyango. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
