Could you share an hour a week with Leul?

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

Gondar
I'm writing for my neighbor Leul, who's 78. Leul lives alone in Gondar, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Leul loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

    Thinking of you, Robel. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

      hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Duluth.

        Praying for you, Robel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

          So sorry you're going through this, Robel. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless

            thinking of you, Robel. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update
