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

I'm writing for my neighbor Willem, who's 85. Willem lives alone in Nijmegen, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Willem loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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 hope life is good to you.

Sending strength. Wishing Willem a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
Keep going, Jasper. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
