Companionship wanted: Efrat's chess and a cup of tea

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

Haifa
I'm writing for my neighbor Efrat, who's 72. Efrat lives alone in Haifa, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Efrat loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. I hope life is good to you.

    good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
