Could you share an hour a week with Nomsa?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Nomsa is asking for.
🇿🇦 Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa734 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Nomsa, who's 87. Nomsa lives alone in Bloemfontein, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 220 kilometers away.
Nomsa loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Thinking of you, Andile. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Bloemfontein.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too
