Friendly visitor needed for a 74-year-old neighbor in Tallahassee
Looking for a friendly person in Tallahassee to visit Brooks once a week.
🇺🇸 Tallahassee, Florida, United States1,027 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Brooks, who's 74. Brooks lives alone in Tallahassee, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 852 kilometers away.
Brooks loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

Wishing you peace, Lauren. Shared this with my family.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Lauren. Get well soon. After 7 years in logistics I know how hard it is to ask for anything
wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Manukau donated after I showed her your page.
Keep going, Lauren. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Best of luck, Lauren. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.

So sorry you're going through this, Lauren. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Manila
