Companionship wanted: Mia's local history and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in London to visit Mia once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Mia, who's 90. Mia lives alone in London, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 795 kilometers away.
Mia loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Douglas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Milan.
Sending good thoughts, Douglas. Get well soon
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Douglas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of London.
Sending strength, Douglas. This could happen to any of us.
