Could you share an hour a week with Million?

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

Addis Ababa
I'm writing for my neighbor Million, who's 93. Million lives alone in Addis Ababa, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 257 kilometers away. Million loves chess, 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Great help in a difficult time

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
