Companionship wanted: Carlos's local history and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Durham to visit Carlos once a week.
🇺🇸 Durham, North Carolina, United States1,095 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Carlos, who's 72. Carlos lives alone in Durham, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Carlos loves local history, 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.
