A weekly visit for Emily, 90, who lives alone in Adelaide

Looking for a friendly person in Adelaide to visit Emily once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Emily, who's 90. Emily lives alone in Adelaide, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 237 kilometers away. Emily loves gardening, 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. Thank you for reading my story.
