A weekly visit for Sabine, 84, who lives alone in Leipzig

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Sabine is asking for.

Leipzig
I'm writing for my neighbor Sabine, who's 84. Sabine lives alone in Leipzig, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Sabine loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
