Friendly visitor needed for an 80-year-old neighbor in Hamilton
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Wyatt is asking for.
🇳🇿 Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand1,598 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Wyatt, who's 80. Wyatt lives alone in Hamilton, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Wyatt loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

Wishing Wyatt a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Hope it all works out, Savannah. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 40 people at work. Love from Contagem.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Kilkenny this morning.
hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Love from Dammam
