Companionship wanted: Tshepo's baking and a cup of tea
Tshepo lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa174 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Tshepo, who's 81. Tshepo lives alone in Pretoria, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Tshepo loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

best of luck, Dineo. Wishing Tshepo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Pretoria.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier
Take care, Dineo. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Love from Kumasi
