Cork

I'm writing for my neighbor Ciara, who's 90. Ciara lives alone in Cork, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Ciara loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. Thank you so much.

effort: 1 hour a week
format: In person in Cork
skills: kindness, patience
