A weekly visit for Brenda, 80, who lives alone in Miami
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Brenda is asking for.
🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, United States1,026 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Brenda, who's 80. Brenda lives alone in Miami, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Brenda loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
