Friendly visitor needed for a 92-year-old neighbor in Christchurch
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Clara is asking for.
🇳🇿 Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand685 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Clara, who's 92. Clara lives alone in Christchurch, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Clara loves opera, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Levi. Get well soon
Take care, Levi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Christchurch.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Levi. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together.
Sending strength, Levi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Levi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Hang in there, Levi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Christchurch
