A weekly visit for Benjamin, 78, who lives alone in Perth
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Benjamin is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Benjamin, who's 78. Benjamin lives alone in Perth, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Benjamin loves gardening, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from San Antonio
