Companionship wanted: Julia's old films and a cup of tea
Julia lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇵🇱 Warsaw, Masovia, Poland400 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Julia, who's 86. Julia lives alone in Warsaw, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 269 kilometers away.
Julia loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Barbara. Wishing Julia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Stay strong, Barbara. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Kediri this morning.
Rooting for you, Barbara. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Jaipur
Thinking of you and your family, Barbara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care
Keep going, Barbara. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Warsaw.
Hope it all works out, Barbara. Wishing Julia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
