Friendly visitor needed for a 93-year-old neighbor in The Hague

Looking for a friendly person in The Hague to visit Niels once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Niels, who's 93. Niels lives alone in The Hague, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Niels loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. Glad we found this place.

      Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care!

            Take care, Anna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Laredo but we're thinking of you.

                Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

                  Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up.

                      Sending love, Anna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mbarara.

                        Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Multan this morning. Blessings.
