Companionship wanted: Gugu's knitting and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in George to visit Gugu once a week.
🇿🇦 George, Western Cape, South Africa95 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Gugu, who's 86. Gugu lives alone in George, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Gugu loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
