Friendly visitor needed for a 72-year-old neighbor in Melbourne
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Riley is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Riley, who's 72. Riley lives alone in Melbourne, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Riley loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
