Detailed description

Woman (79 years old) would like more contact. She enjoys crafts (e.g. making cards) and growing orchids.


This lady is looking for someone who would like to visit her once a week on a morning for a cup of coffee and a chat. It would be nice to DO something together every now and then, for example making postcards or going somewhere by car. The latter is also nice for practical matters.

Her health leaves something to be desired, because she always has pain in her leg and her back, and she does not hear well in company. But she still does as much as possible herself, she walks to the supermarket with her walker every day and exercises at the health center once a week.

She needs more social contact. Interested in getting to know her?
