Companionship wanted: Henry's birdwatching and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Coventry to visit Henry once a week.
🇬🇧 Coventry, England, United Kingdom858 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Henry, who's 73. Henry lives alone in Coventry, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Henry loves birdwatching, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
