Friendly visitor needed for a 75-year-old neighbor in Birmingham

Rima lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Rima, who's 75. Rima lives alone in Birmingham, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Rima loves old films, 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. Glad we found this place.

    Keep going. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings

      shared it with a few friends. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Birmingham.
