Companionship wanted: Rachel's opera and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Rachel is asking for.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia450 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Rachel, who's 81. Rachel lives alone in Sydney, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Rachel loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Austin.
Sending strength, Beau. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Sydney
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Sydney
Wishing Rachel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. Greetings from Fort Portal.
