Friendly visitor needed for a 92-year-old neighbor in Ikeja
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Garba is asking for.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria377 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Garba, who's 92. Garba lives alone in Ikeja, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Garba loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
