A weekly visit for Deborah, 86, who lives alone in Aberdeen

Deborah lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Deborah, who's 86. Deborah lives alone in Aberdeen, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 312 kilometers away. Deborah loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
