Summary

Petra, a spontaneous older lady born in 1931, is looking for a female companion with whom she can have nice conversations

Detailed description

Petra has difficulty walking (with a walker) due to a broken hip after a fall. She says she's often alone at home and no longer goes into town. Taking a walk is also difficult. She has good contact with neighbors, but they don't have time to visit her regularly. She would love to connect with a female volunteer between 30 and 60 for company and pleasant conversation. Her husband passed away several years ago. She lived abroad with him for several years. In the past, she worked at a pharmacy and was also active as a volunteer in activities for the elderly. She is involved in the church and is well-informed about social developments and politics.
