A weekly visit for Liat, 74, who lives alone in Jerusalem

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

Jerusalem
I'm writing for my neighbor Liat, who's 74. Liat lives alone in Jerusalem, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Liat loves cricket, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

            Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings!
