A weekly visit for Cynthia, 78, who lives alone in Brooklyn
Looking for a friendly person in Brooklyn to visit Cynthia once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Cynthia, who's 78. Cynthia lives alone in Brooklyn, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Cynthia loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Beth. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from București.
Rooting for you, Beth. Get well soon. All the best
Wishing Cynthia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from San Diego.
