Friendly visitor needed for an 87-year-old neighbor in Dublin
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Niall is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Niall, who's 87. Niall lives alone in Dublin, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Niall loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

Hope things get better soon. Wishing Niall a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
