Friendly visitor needed for a 92-year-old neighbor in The Hague

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Sander, who's 92. Sander lives alone in The Hague, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Sander loves chess, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning. Take care.

    • Praying for you, Lars. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Petrópolis this morning. Thinking of The Hague.
