Friendly visitor needed for a 73-year-old neighbor in Kano
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Yetunde is asking for.
🇳🇬 Kano, Kano, Nigeria682 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Yetunde, who's 73. Yetunde lives alone in Kano, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Yetunde loves baking, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Uchenna. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Keep going, Uchenna. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care
Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Kano.
Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Manchester.
