Could you share an hour a week with Bongani?
Bongani lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Bongani, who's 74. Bongani lives alone in Johannesburg, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Bongani loves old films, 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.
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Carla. I hope things turn around soon
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Bongani a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Faisalabad but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Keep going, Carla. Wishing Bongani a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
