Companionship wanted: Lesego's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Johannesburg to visit Lesego once a week.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa1,241 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Lesego, who's 78. Lesego lives alone in Johannesburg, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Lesego loves crossword puzzles, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
