A weekly visit for Henry, 77, who lives alone in Essen
Henry lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Henry, who's 77. Henry lives alone in Essen, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Henry loves birdwatching, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
