Companionship wanted: Diarmuid's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Diarmuid lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇮🇪 Dublin, Leinster, Ireland684 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Diarmuid, who's 90. Diarmuid lives alone in Dublin, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Diarmuid loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Glad we found this place.
