Friendly visitor needed for a 73-year-old neighbor in Adama
Ruth lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ruth, who's 73. Ruth lives alone in Adama, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 510 kilometers away.
Ruth loves gardening, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Dawit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Mysuru.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Dawit. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
