Companionship wanted: Shireen's baking and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Pietermaritzburg to visit Shireen once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Shireen, who's 73. Shireen lives alone in Pietermaritzburg, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Shireen loves baking, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you, Brett. Shared this with my family.
This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg.
Sending good thoughts, Brett. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope it all works out, Brett. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Charlotte donated after I showed her your page
Best of luck, Brett. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg.
Thinking of you and your family, Brett. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Derry.
Hang in there, Brett. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
