A weekly visit for Darragh, 75, who lives alone in Kilkenny
Darragh lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇮🇪 Kilkenny, Leinster, Ireland708 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Darragh, who's 75. Darragh lives alone in Kilkenny, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Darragh loves cricket, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
