Could you share an hour a week with Okello?

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

Naivasha
I'm writing for my neighbor Okello, who's 75. Okello lives alone in Naivasha, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Okello loves baking, 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Professional and kind

    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.

  • Aster Liya Fikadu🇪🇹Verified helper
    Exceeded expectations

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless

    • Mekdes Selam Tadesse

      Hope you get there. Thinking of Naivasha.

        Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 40 people at work.

        • Zulkifli Yusuf Handoko

          You're not alone, Salim. Hope this works out for you. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
