Companionship wanted: Ingrid's old films and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Amsterdam to visit Ingrid once a week.
🇳🇱 Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands61 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Ingrid, who's 93. Ingrid lives alone in Amsterdam, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Ingrid loves old films, 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Best of luck, Esther. This could happen to any of us
Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
you're not alone. This could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Guarulhos.
