A weekly visit for Elsa, 73, who lives alone in Malmö

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Elsa, who's 73. Elsa lives alone in Malmö, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Elsa loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

        Wishing you peace, Albin. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 28 people at work. Greetings from Nagpur!

          Keep going, Albin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Malmö.
