A weekly visit for Florence, 92, who lives alone in Mississauga
Looking for a friendly person in Mississauga to visit Florence once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Florence, who's 92. Florence lives alone in Mississauga, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Florence loves gardening, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you, Laurent. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Rooting for you, Laurent. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in A Coruña this morning.
