A weekly visit for Delroy, 93, who lives alone in Spanish Town

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Delroy is asking for.

Spanish Town
I'm writing for my neighbor Delroy, who's 93. Delroy lives alone in Spanish Town, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Delroy 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
