Companionship wanted: Willem's opera and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Nijmegen to visit Willem once a week.
🇳🇱 Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands1,643 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Willem, who's 75. Willem lives alone in Nijmegen, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Willem loves opera, 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.

Wishing you the best, Niels. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Vadodara
