Could you share an hour a week with Caroline?

Caroline lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Caroline, who's 74. Caroline lives alone in Kampala, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Caroline loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Sending love, Maina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Kampala

    • Vinícius Caio Teixeira

      Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless!
