Companionship wanted: Kimberly's cricket and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Kimberly is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Kimberly, who's 73. Kimberly lives alone in Kingston, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Kimberly loves cricket, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you, Jada. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Good luck, Jada. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Rotterdam.
