Could you share an hour a week with Mackenzie?
Mackenzie lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇨🇦 Québec, Quebec, Canada141 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Mackenzie, who's 83. Mackenzie lives alone in Québec, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 290 kilometers away.
Mackenzie loves knitting, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Québec.
