Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Cape Town
Looking for a friendly person in Cape Town to visit Rachel once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rachel, who's 86. Rachel lives alone in Cape Town, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Rachel loves old films, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Fiona. Shared it with a few friends
Praying for you, Fiona. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Curitiba.
Hope things get better soon, Fiona. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
