Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Durham

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Heather is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Heather, who's 76. Heather lives alone in Durham, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Heather loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
