Could you share an hour a week with Emily?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Emily is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Emily, who's 74. Emily lives alone in Melbourne, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 656 kilometers away.
Emily loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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 for reading my story.
