A weekly visit for Lea, 82, who lives alone in Cologne
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Lea is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Lea, who's 82. Lea lives alone in Cologne, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Lea loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
Thank you so much.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Da Nang.
Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Cologne
Stay strong, Leni. Looking forward to the next update.
