A weekly visit for Emilia, 87, who lives alone in San Francisco
Looking for a friendly person in San Francisco to visit Emilia once a week.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States1,383 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Emilia, who's 87. Emilia lives alone in San Francisco, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Emilia loves chess, 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.

take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal
Rooting for you, Annabelle. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of San Francisco.
good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
hang in there, Annabelle. Get well soon. Take care.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. God bless
Wishing you peace, Annabelle. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings

Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of San Francisco.

thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of San Francisco.
So sorry you're going through this, Annabelle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Eldoret.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
