Companionship wanted: Roman's baking and a cup of tea
Roman lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Roman, who's 93. Roman lives alone in Auckland, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Roman loves baking, 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.
Thank you so much.

wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
wishing you the best. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Auckland.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
