A weekly visit for Mikael, 79, who lives alone in Södertälje

I'm writing for my neighbor Mikael, who's 79. Mikael lives alone in Södertälje, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Mikael loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
