Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Newcastle
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Hazel is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Hazel, who's 86. Hazel lives alone in Newcastle, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Hazel loves local history, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts, Clara. Get well soon.
You're not alone, Clara. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together
So sorry you're going through this, Clara. Wishing Hazel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
