Could you share an hour a week with Kelechi?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Kelechi is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Kelechi, who's 82. Kelechi lives alone in Ikeja, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Kelechi loves cricket, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Ikeja.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Hope it all works out, Idowu. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City
