Companionship wanted: Caleb's baking and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Caleb, who's 83. Caleb lives alone in Birmingham, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Caleb loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Johannesburg this morning. God bless.

    • Rooting for you, Avery. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Allentown
