A weekly visit for Kevin, 73, who lives alone in Kilkenny
Kevin lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇮🇪 Kilkenny, Leinster, Ireland927 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Kevin, who's 73. Kevin lives alone in Kilkenny, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Kevin loves chess, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Madurai but we're thinking of you. God bless
Sending strength, Declan. Hope this works out for you.
Stay strong, Declan. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Kano.
