Companionship wanted: Aubree's cricket and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Newcastle to visit Aubree once a week.
🇦🇺 2301, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia1,967 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Aubree, who's 86. Aubree lives alone in Newcastle, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 228 kilometers away.
Aubree 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this, Anna. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 13 people at work. Love from Tampa.
Keep going, Anna. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Newcastle.
Take care, Anna. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Los Angeles

This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 38 people at work. All the best.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Bakersfield this morning.
Keep going, Anna. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Toulouse

sending love, Anna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
