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

I'm writing for my neighbor Kagiso, who's 83. Kagiso lives alone in Paarl, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Kagiso 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

hope it all works out, Yusuf. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 33 people at work
Wishing Kagiso a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Stay strong, Yusuf. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Mombasa.
