A weekly visit for Megan, 91, who lives alone in Pretoria

Megan lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Megan, who's 91. Megan lives alone in Pretoria, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Megan loves baking, 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.
