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

Looking for a friendly person in London to visit Ezra once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ezra, who's 80. Ezra lives alone in London, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Ezra loves opera, 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. Thank you for reading my story.

        thinking of you and your family, Michael. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

              keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Tema donated after I showed her your page!
