Could you share an hour a week with Elke?
Looking for a friendly person in Berlin to visit Elke once a week.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany1,143 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Elke, who's 89. Elke lives alone in Berlin, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Elke loves chess, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Tema.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Catania
Good luck, Florian. Wishing Elke a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Praying for you. Wishing Elke a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 15 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
you're not alone, Florian. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Florian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
