Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Lagos
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Yewande is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Yewande, who's 86. Yewande lives alone in Lagos, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Yewande loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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 hope life is good to you.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
Keep going, Queen. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Hang in there, Queen. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Shreveport.
keep going. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
