Friendly visitor needed for an 84-year-old neighbor in Amsterdam
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Marijke is asking for.
🇳🇱 Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands1,425 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Marijke, who's 84. Marijke lives alone in Amsterdam, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 534 kilometers away.
Marijke loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
