Friendly visitor needed for a 75-year-old neighbor in The Hague
Looking for a friendly person in The Hague to visit Hendrik once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Hendrik, who's 75. Hendrik lives alone in The Hague, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 755 kilometers away.
Hendrik loves local history, 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Chennai
Stay strong, Koen. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of The Hague
Stay strong, Koen. I hope things turn around soon. All the best!
best of luck, Koen. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out
looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of The Hague.
Hope things get better soon, Koen. Hope you get there. Greetings from Calgary.
get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
You're not alone, Koen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Jalandhar this morning
