Companionship wanted: Michal's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Michal lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Michal, who's 79. Michal lives alone in Beersheba, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Michal loves crossword puzzles, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

you're not alone, Nir. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Dhaka.
praying for you, Nir. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Depok.
