Could you share an hour a week with Chiara?

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

Rome
I'm writing for my neighbor Chiara, who's 87. Chiara lives alone in Rome, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 309 kilometers away. Chiara loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

    Sending love, Rosa. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Rome.

    • John Webb

      praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
