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

I'm writing for my neighbor Sophia, who's 91. Sophia lives alone in Ballarat, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Sophia loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

Thinking of you, Levi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
Stay strong, Levi. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Ballarat
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Sophia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Halifax but we're thinking of you.
