Could you share an hour a week with Iris?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Iris is asking for.
🇳🇱 Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands77 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Iris, who's 93. Iris lives alone in Haarlem, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Iris loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
