I'm writing for my neighbor Barry, who's 89. Barry lives alone in Cork, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Barry loves birdwatching, 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. Thank you for reading my story.

    shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care!
