A weekly visit for Genesis, 75, who lives alone in Lowell
Genesis lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Genesis, who's 75. Genesis lives alone in Lowell, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Genesis loves old films, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Hang in there, Everly. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Thiruvananthapuram.
Thanks for sharing this, Everly. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
