A weekly visit for Mandla, 77, who lives alone in Sandton

Looking for a friendly person in Sandton to visit Mandla once a week.

Sandton
I'm writing for my neighbor Mandla, who's 77. Mandla lives alone in Sandton, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Mandla loves opera, 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

        Keep going, Kevin. Wishing Mandla a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

            praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Dayton so I could bring a meal. Love from Accra.

              Hope it all works out, Kevin. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
