Could you share an hour a week with Lillian?
Looking for a friendly person in Bakersfield to visit Lillian once a week.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States773 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Lillian, who's 73. Lillian lives alone in Bakersfield, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Lillian loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Alexandra. I hope things turn around soon.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Campinas.
Keep going, Alexandra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
