Could you share an hour a week with Hazel?
Hazel lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Hazel, who's 89. Hazel lives alone in Derry, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Hazel loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing Hazel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Naples.
Sending good thoughts, Gabriella. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Barranquilla but we're thinking of you. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Howrah
