A weekly visit for Mbali, 93, who lives alone in Durban
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Mbali is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Mbali, who's 93. Mbali lives alone in Durban, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Mbali loves opera, 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 hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Imran. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Imran. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Durban.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Noida.
Praying for you, Imran. Shared it with a few friends.
