A weekly visit for Aurora, 81, who lives alone in Bakersfield
Looking for a friendly person in Bakersfield to visit Aurora once a week.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States737 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Aurora, who's 81. Aurora lives alone in Bakersfield, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Aurora loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 hour a week

Good luck, Claire. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Thinking of you and your family, Claire. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Turin
wishing you the best, Claire. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Sending love, Claire. This could happen to any of us.
