Companionship wanted: Emery's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Emery lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Emery, who's 91. Emery lives alone in Manukau, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 200 kilometers away.
Emery loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Jocelyn. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Hang in there, Jocelyn. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Marrakesh so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Manukau.
take care, Jocelyn. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Tamale.
