Could you share an hour a week with Hiwot?
Hiwot lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇪🇹 Jimma, Oromia, Ethiopia172 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Hiwot, who's 83. Hiwot lives alone in Jimma, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Hiwot loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Praying for you, Wegayehu. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Newport.
