Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Mombasa
Kiptoo lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Kiptoo, who's 76. Kiptoo lives alone in Mombasa, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Kiptoo loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Spokane.
best of luck, Tumusiime. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Bowling Green but we're thinking of you. God bless
Wishing Kiptoo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Greetings from Mumbai.
