Companionship wanted: Abigail's opera and a cup of tea

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

Ho
I'm writing for my neighbor Abigail, who's 78. Abigail lives alone in Ho, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Abigail loves opera, 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

        Sending strength, Irene. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from London

          You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Riyadh.
