Friendly visitor needed for a 78-year-old neighbor in Berlin
Looking for a friendly person in Berlin to visit Tobias once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Tobias, who's 78. Tobias lives alone in Berlin, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Tobias loves cricket, 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.
Thank you so much.

Keep going, Claudia. Wishing Tobias a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 10 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Good luck, Claudia. Wishing Tobias a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Soweto donated after I showed her your page. God bless!
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Pokhara
Hope it all works out, Claudia. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 6 people at work. Greetings from Jeddah.
Praying for you, Claudia. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Sending love, Claudia. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal
Stay strong. Wishing Tobias a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Cardiff.
looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Santa Fe.
