A weekly visit for Rachel, 93, who lives alone in Duluth

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Rachel is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rachel, who's 93. Rachel lives alone in Duluth, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 430 kilometers away. Rachel loves cricket, 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 hope life is good to you.

    Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Cape Town.
