A weekly visit for Lesego, 76, who lives alone in Ekurhuleni
Looking for a friendly person in Ekurhuleni to visit Lesego once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Lesego, who's 76. Lesego lives alone in Ekurhuleni, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Lesego loves crossword puzzles, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
