Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Thika
Looking for a friendly person in Thika to visit Amani once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Amani, who's 76. Amani lives alone in Thika, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Amani loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Rennes this morning. All the best.
you're not alone, Samuel. Shared this with my family.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Thika.
take care. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Ibadan donated after I showed her your page.
Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
