A weekly visit for Charles, 72, who lives alone in Leicester
Looking for a friendly person in Leicester to visit Charles once a week.
🇬🇧 Leicester, England, United Kingdom936 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Charles, who's 72. Charles lives alone in Leicester, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Charles loves knitting, 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Cairo.
