Could you share an hour a week with Obiageli?

Looking for a friendly person in Lagos to visit Obiageli once a week.

Lagos
I'm writing for my neighbor Obiageli, who's 90. Obiageli lives alone in Lagos, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Obiageli loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

      Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      • it takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Kandy donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Kandy.

        • Take care, Abubakar. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Chennai

          • Sending love, Abubakar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 24 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
