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.
