Friendly visitor needed for a 75-year-old neighbor in Port Harcourt
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Michael is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Michael, who's 75. Michael lives alone in Port Harcourt, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Michael 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you, Hauwa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Port Harcourt.
Wishing you peace, Hauwa. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Allentown.
You're not alone, Hauwa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
thinking of you and your family, Hauwa. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
thinking of you, Hauwa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
