Companionship wanted: Christian's local history and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Winston-Salem to visit Christian once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Christian, who's 74. Christian lives alone in Winston-Salem, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Christian loves local history, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

so sorry you're going through this, Jennifer. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you, Jennifer. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Makati
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Alcalá de Henares donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Sending strength, Jennifer. Shared it with a few friends. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you the best, Jennifer. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings!
