Looking for a friendly person in Duisburg to visit Uwe once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Uwe, who's 78. Uwe lives alone in Duisburg, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 554 kilometers away.
Uwe 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Klaus. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page.
Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Pretoria so I could bring a meal. Take care.
