Friendly visitor needed for an 88-year-old neighbor in Lagos
Yewande lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria266 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Yewande, who's 88. Yewande lives alone in Lagos, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Yewande loves cricket, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Samuel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Durban so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Lagos.
Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Bristol.
wishing you the best, Samuel. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Lagos.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Haifa

Keep going, Samuel. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update.
