A weekly visit for Xia, 76, who lives alone in Regina
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Xia is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Xia, who's 76. Xia lives alone in Regina, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Xia loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Addis Ababa this morning. Thinking of Regina.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Bahir Dar.
Wishing Xia a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Regina
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Accra.
