Friendly visitor needed for an 89-year-old neighbor in Mombasa
Nafula lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Nafula, who's 89. Nafula lives alone in Mombasa, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Nafula loves knitting, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out, Auma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Auma. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Depok!
You're not alone. Get well soon. Sent it to 18 people at work. Greetings from Nairobi.
So sorry you're going through this, Auma. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing Nafula a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Winston-Salem donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mombasa!
You're not alone, Auma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Mombasa
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Addis Ababa but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Mombasa.
Thinking of you, Auma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
You're not alone, Auma. Looking forward to the next update.
Sending strength, Auma. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Bogra.
Take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mombasa.
