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

I'm writing for my neighbor Wolfgang, who's 74. Wolfgang lives alone in Düsseldorf, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Wolfgang loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

So sorry you're going through this, Elke. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 26 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Keep going, Elke. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care!
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Take care
Wishing you the best, Elke. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Take care
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Düsseldorf
Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Thinking of you, Elke. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Düsseldorf
