“Margaret is 79 . “For fifteen years I didn’t laugh or have a real conversation with anyone. I had a seven day week with no one to talk to.”Margaret was never married and had little contact with family. Her only friend was a lady that she bumped into at the bus stop occasionally. Margaret’s life wasn’t always like this. Before she retired she worked in a busy office. She had many friends, and enjoyed an active social life.
Margaret is now matched with a trained Befriending volunteer. “I now look forward to every Monday when my volunteer Amy visits me. I always feel ten feet taller after she visits. It’s so lovely to see a friendly face. “
