Companionship wanted: Nicholas's chess and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Allentown to visit Nicholas once a week.
🇺🇸 Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States1,237 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Nicholas, who's 83. Nicholas lives alone in Allentown, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 890 kilometers away.
Nicholas loves chess, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
