A weekly visit for Carmen, 80, who lives alone in Toledo
Looking for a friendly person in Toledo to visit Carmen once a week.
🇺🇸 Toledo, Ohio, United States1,373 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Carmen, who's 80. Carmen lives alone in Toledo, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Carmen loves opera, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Glasgow.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Coimbatore.
