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

I'm writing for my neighbor Theresa, who's 80. Theresa lives alone in Essen, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 759 kilometers away.
Theresa loves birdwatching, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
