Friendly visitor needed for a 90-year-old neighbor in Kinondoni
Looking for a friendly person in Kinondoni to visit Wekesa once a week.
🇹🇿 Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania1,024 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Wekesa, who's 90. Wekesa lives alone in Kinondoni, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Wekesa loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Mwende. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Petrópolis so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Accra!
Take care, Mwende. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Mumbai
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Wekesa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City.
So sorry you're going through this, Mwende. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
