Friendly visitor needed for a 91-year-old neighbor in Dublin

Colleen lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Colleen, who's 91. Colleen lives alone in Dublin, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Colleen loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Thinking of you, Maeve. Wishing Colleen a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
