A weekly visit for Nevaeh, 72, who lives alone in London

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Nevaeh, who's 72. Nevaeh lives alone in London, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Nevaeh loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

                    Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Karachi donated after I showed her your page.
