Could you share an hour a week with Benny?

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

Tel Aviv
I'm writing for my neighbor Benny, who's 92. Benny lives alone in Tel Aviv, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Benny loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.

        Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Cincinnati.

          Wishing you peace. Get well soon. My neighbor in Kaduna donated after I showed her your page!

          • Wishing you the best, Maya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

            • Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from Kakamega.

              • So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Dasmariñas but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Tel Aviv.

                • Best of luck, Maya. Wishing Benny a smooth procedure and a full recovery

                  • keep going, Maya. Shared this with my family. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings

                    • Take care, Maya. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care

                      • Good luck, Maya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
