Could you share an hour a week with Meir?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Meir is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Meir, who's 76. Meir lives alone in Haifa, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Meir loves gardening, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Haifa.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
So sorry you're going through this, Rachel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope it all works out, Rachel. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Campinas
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 10 people at work. Thinking of Haifa.
hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Brisbane
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Haifa
Keep going, Rachel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Juiz de Fora.
Rooting for you. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. After 26 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Dar es Salaam.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
Wishing you the best, Rachel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Rooting for you, Rachel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
