Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Lagos
Ifeanyi lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria104 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Ifeanyi, who's 76. Ifeanyi lives alone in Lagos, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 732 kilometers away.
Ifeanyi loves birdwatching, 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best!
Sending good thoughts, Uche. Hope the doctors have good news.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
thanks for sharing this, Uche. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours
Hope it all works out, Uche. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Oakland.
