Companionship wanted: Isabella's gardening and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Adelaide to visit Isabella once a week.
🇦🇺 Adelaide, South Australia, Australia689 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Isabella, who's 86. Isabella lives alone in Adelaide, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Isabella loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

Thinking of you, Leah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
so sorry you're going through this, Leah. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Kyiv so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Keep going, Leah. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Caxias do Sul
Good luck, Leah. I hope things turn around soon.
Wishing you the best, Leah. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal

Wishing Isabella a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Adelaide
Hang in there, Leah. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Faisalabad
You're not alone, Leah. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
