Companionship wanted: Jonathan's opera and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Bakersfield to visit Jonathan once a week.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States264 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Jonathan, who's 83. Jonathan lives alone in Bakersfield, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Jonathan loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.

Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Love from Kathmandu.
Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Stay strong, Jameson. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Wishing Jonathan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
