A weekly visit for Cora, 74, who lives alone in Austin
Looking for a friendly person in Austin to visit Cora once a week.
🇺🇸 Austin, Texas, United States271 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Cora, who's 74. Cora lives alone in Austin, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Cora loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

sending good thoughts, Maverick. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together
Best of luck, Maverick. This could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Austin.
Stay strong, Maverick. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
hope it all works out, Maverick. Gave what I could, wish it was more!
Hope things get better soon, Maverick. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Austin.
Wishing Cora a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Aberdeen.
Thanks for sharing this, Maverick. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Stay strong, Maverick. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Good luck, Maverick. Looking forward to the next update. Take care

So sorry you're going through this, Maverick. Get well soon. Love from Machakos.
Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
