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

I'm writing for my neighbor Lerato, who's 88. Lerato lives alone in Ekurhuleni, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Lerato loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
