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

I'm writing for my neighbor Nneka, who's 91. Nneka lives alone in Ikeja, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 307 kilometers away.
Nneka loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing Nneka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Warangal.
Best of luck, Sade. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Sade. I hope things turn around soon
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning
Hope things get better soon, Sade. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best!
Take care, Sade. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing Nneka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
