Could you share an hour a week with Lucy?
Looking for a friendly person in Bakersfield to visit Lucy once a week.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States453 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Lucy, who's 94. Lucy lives alone in Bakersfield, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Lucy loves chess, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Scranton.
Thinking of you and your family, Isaac. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Colombo.
Thinking of you and your family, Isaac. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
