Friendly visitor needed for a 78-year-old neighbor in Zaria
Jide lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jide, who's 78. Jide lives alone in Zaria, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 449 kilometers away.
Jide loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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, Joy. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Joy. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you, Joy. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
