A weekly visit for Lucas, 72, who lives alone in Sydney

Looking for a friendly person in Sydney to visit Lucas once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Lucas, who's 72. Lucas lives alone in Sydney, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 213 kilometers away. Lucas loves cricket, 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.

      So sorry you're going through this, Jose. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Ekurhuleni.
