A weekly visit for Gianna, 84, who lives alone in Brisbane
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Gianna is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Gianna, who's 84. Gianna lives alone in Brisbane, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Gianna loves knitting, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Anthony. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.
Take care. Wishing Gianna a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
So sorry you're going through this, Anthony. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best

Thanks for sharing this, Anthony. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Charlotte.
rooting for you, Anthony. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
sending love, Anthony. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Brisbane!
thanks for sharing this, Anthony. This could happen to any of us. All the best!
thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
