Companionship wanted: Dennis's local history and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Townsville to visit Dennis once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Dennis, who's 91. Dennis lives alone in Townsville, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Dennis loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.

Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 30 people at work
Keep going, Shawn. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
