A weekly visit for Declan, 84, who lives alone in Cambridge
Looking for a friendly person in Cambridge to visit Declan once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Declan, who's 84. Declan lives alone in Cambridge, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Declan loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Good luck, Liliana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Durham this morning.
Praying for you, Liliana. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Rooting for you. Wishing Declan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Love from Pune
best of luck, Liliana. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
