Friendly visitor needed for an 87-year-old neighbor in Johannesburg
Tracey lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Tracey, who's 87. Tracey lives alone in Johannesburg, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Tracey loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Shireen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
