Friendly visitor needed for an 81-year-old neighbor in Likoni
Looking for a friendly person in Likoni to visit Mwanaisha once a week.
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya394 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Mwanaisha, who's 81. Mwanaisha lives alone in Likoni, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Mwanaisha loves knitting, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Charlotte but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Samuel. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Keep going, Samuel. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Kassel this morning. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Samuel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 23 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
