Companionship wanted: Oliwia's local history and a cup of tea

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Oliwia is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Oliwia, who's 77. Oliwia lives alone in Warsaw, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Oliwia loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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 so much.

  • Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

    • Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Warsaw!

      • Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from București.

        • Thanks for sharing this, Barbara. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick

          • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
