A weekly visit for Andile, 90, who lives alone in Johannesburg
Looking for a friendly person in Johannesburg to visit Andile once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Andile, who's 90. Andile lives alone in Johannesburg, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Andile loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
Thank you so much.

look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. God bless
stay strong, Sipho. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Dhaka
Hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Sending love, Sipho. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
