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

I'm writing for my neighbor Chidi, who's 79. Chidi lives alone in Lagos, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Chidi loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
