Friendly visitor needed for an 83-year-old neighbor in Lagos
Wunmi lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Wunmi, who's 83. Wunmi lives alone in Lagos, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 410 kilometers away.
Wunmi loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Emeka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you
