Could you share an hour a week with Simiyu?

Looking for a friendly person in Nakuru to visit Simiyu once a week.

Nakuru
I'm writing for my neighbor Simiyu, who's 90. Simiyu lives alone in Nakuru, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Simiyu loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

    Thinking of you and your family, Mwangi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Zanzibar City but we're thinking of you!

    • Gabriel Luís Batista

      Praying for you, Mwangi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless

      • Paolo N. Velasco

        wishing you the best, Mwangi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
