Could you share an hour a week with Dorcas?

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

🇺🇬 Entebbe, Central Region, Uganda629 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Dorcas, who's 79. Dorcas lives alone in Entebbe, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Dorcas loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Praying for you. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

    • Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
