Friendly visitor needed for a 92-year-old neighbor in Embakasi
Onyango lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Onyango, who's 92. Onyango lives alone in Embakasi, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Onyango loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Udaipur so I could bring a meal.
Rooting for you, Bakari. Wishing Onyango a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 38 people at work
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Laredo.
thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Keep going, Bakari. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
