Companionship wanted: Josephine's knitting and a cup of tea

Josephine lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Josephine, who's 83. Josephine lives alone in Wellington, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 697 kilometers away. Josephine loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
