A weekly visit for Imran, 90, who lives alone in Richards Bay
Looking for a friendly person in Richards Bay to visit Imran once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Imran, who's 90. Imran lives alone in Richards Bay, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Imran loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.

your post was clear and honest. Love from Ho.
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. Thinking of Richards Bay.
Sending love. Wishing Imran a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
stay strong, Zinhle. Wishing Imran a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
