A weekly visit for Gloria, 73, who lives alone in London
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Gloria is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Gloria, who's 73. Gloria lives alone in London, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Gloria loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Thinking of London
so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Bekasi this morning. Take care.
