A weekly visit for Shelly-Ann, 86, who lives alone in Mandeville

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Shelly-Ann, who's 86. Shelly-Ann lives alone in Mandeville, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Shelly-Ann loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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. Thank you for reading my story.
