A weekly visit for Sarah, 79, who lives alone in Haifa

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Sarah, who's 79. Sarah lives alone in Haifa, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Sarah 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
