Could you share an hour a week with Irene?
Looking for a friendly person in Bakersfield to visit Irene once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Irene, who's 92. Irene lives alone in Bakersfield, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Irene loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Praying for you, Beatriz. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Mississauga
Take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
wishing you the best, Beatriz. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
So sorry you're going through this, Beatriz. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best!
best of luck, Beatriz. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Wudil but we're thinking of you!
Thinking of you and your family, Beatriz. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending strength, Beatriz. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Bakersfield
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing you peace. Wishing Irene a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from The Hague!
