Companionship wanted: Zaid's knitting and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Zaid, who's 88. Zaid lives alone in Wiesbaden, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Zaid loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
