Could you share an hour a week with Nebiyu?

Looking for a friendly person in Gondar to visit Nebiyu once a week.

Gondar
I'm writing for my neighbor Nebiyu, who's 90. Nebiyu lives alone in Gondar, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Nebiyu loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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. Thank you so much.

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 9 people at work. Blessings

      Praying for you, Berhanu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out

          hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Barat so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Gondar.

              So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 23 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best

                Wishing Nebiyu a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 15 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
