Could you share an hour a week with Temitope?

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

Epe
I'm writing for my neighbor Temitope, who's 82. Temitope lives alone in Epe, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Temitope loves knitting, 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. Thank you for reading my story.
