Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Haarlem

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Ibrahima, who's 79. Ibrahima lives alone in Haarlem, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Ibrahima loves opera, 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. Thank you so much.

      Rooting for you, Aminata. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Richards Bay.

        Hang in there, Aminata. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Toronto.

          Wishing you the best. Get well soon. After 22 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
