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

I'm writing for my neighbor Mairead, who's 75. Mairead lives alone in Kilkenny, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 280 kilometers away.
Mairead loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Saoirse. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Kadıköy.
Wishing Mairead a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up.
so sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Munich.
