A weekly visit for Parker, 76, who lives alone in Newport
Parker lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇬🇧 Newport, Wales, United Kingdom972 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Parker, who's 76. Parker lives alone in Newport, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Parker loves birdwatching, 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.
I hope life is good to you.
