A weekly visit for Howard, 74, who lives alone in Bakersfield
Looking for a friendly person in Bakersfield to visit Howard once a week.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States963 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Howard, who's 74. Howard lives alone in Bakersfield, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Howard loves cricket, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
