    Description

    Loneliness is Bad for Humans - We Need People We Can Trust

    Oh yeh, so bad for humans but you can help! When we can't drive anymore, we become physically separated from our family and friends, community groups and worship activities. Our phone can go days or weeks without a single call except for the car warranty sales - but some of them can be really nice people who don't mind chatting! Do you? If you want to replace the car warranty and solar panel callers with your own friendly voice and a visit for coffee once or twice a month, you can be the one who makes me know I am not forgotten!
