Friendly visitor needed for a 74-year-old neighbor in Wollongong
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Joseph is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Joseph, who's 74. Joseph lives alone in Wollongong, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Joseph loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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 hope life is good to you.

Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Love from Munich.
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 7 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Lalitpur
Thanks for sharing this, Kaylee. Get well soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Asaba!
Take care, Kaylee. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Kaylee. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Ikeja.
Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Hope things get better soon, Kaylee. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Wollongong.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours
Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Lyon but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Wollongong.
