A weekly visit for Natalie, 77, who lives alone in Hamilton

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

Hamilton
I'm writing for my neighbor Natalie, who's 77. Natalie lives alone in Hamilton, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Natalie loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

    stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

    • Mary Grace A. Villanueva

      sending good thoughts. Wishing Natalie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Hamilton.

      • Isabel A. Garcia

        Best of luck, Nathan. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.

        • Angelica E. Flores

          You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

          • Pedro M. Vásquez

            take care, Nathan. Get well soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

                  Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
