Friendly visitor needed for an 85-year-old neighbor in Gwagwalada
Ronke lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ronke, who's 85. Ronke lives alone in Gwagwalada, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 713 kilometers away.
Ronke loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 39 people at work. All the best.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Narayanganj donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Gwagwalada
Thanks for sharing this, Vivian. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Keep going, Vivian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Keep going, Vivian. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Kota so I could bring a meal. All the best.
