Online friend for someone feeling lonely
Finnish Red Cross
The Red Cross provides friends where they are needed. If you feel lonely and crave the company of another person, you can apply for an online friend through the Red Cross. Online friends are trained volunteers who operate with the skills of an ordinary person.
With a reliable online friend, you can have one-on-one, anonymous conversations online, via email, or through messaging apps. Online friendship knows no time or place. In-person meetings typically do not belong to online friendship.
The service is free and suitable for people of all ages.
