Could you share an hour a week with Bukola?

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

Port Harcourt
I'm writing for my neighbor Bukola, who's 73. Bukola lives alone in Port Harcourt, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Bukola loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

                    praying for you, Aisha. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
