Companionship wanted: Luca's birdwatching and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Springfield to visit Luca once a week.
🇺🇸 Springfield, Illinois, United States677 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Luca, who's 76. Luca lives alone in Springfield, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Luca loves birdwatching, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Hazel. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
