Companionship wanted: Willem's baking and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Willem is asking for.
🇳🇱 Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands420 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Willem, who's 74. Willem lives alone in Haarlem, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Willem loves baking, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Take care, Petra. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update
