Friendly visitor needed for an 87-year-old neighbor in Eindhoven
Looking for a friendly person in Eindhoven to visit Wouter once a week.
🇳🇱 5611 CL, Eindhoven, North Brabant, Netherlands1,025 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Wouter, who's 87. Wouter lives alone in Eindhoven, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Wouter loves crossword puzzles, 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.

Rooting for you, Sem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
