Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Mukono
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Kiptoo is asking for.
🇺🇬 Mukono, Central Region, Uganda1,446 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Kiptoo, who's 76. Kiptoo lives alone in Mukono, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Kiptoo loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

I was skeptical at first, but this person proved to be reliable and genuinely interested in helping. Their response time was incredible and their solutions were practical.

Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Mukono.
Wishing you the best, Dennis. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
