Friendly visitor needed for a 75-year-old neighbor in Greensboro
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Kinsley is asking for.
🇺🇸 Greensboro, North Carolina, United States640 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Kinsley, who's 75. Kinsley lives alone in Greensboro, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 863 kilometers away.
Kinsley loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.

Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 23 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Greensboro
Hope it all works out, Harold. This could happen to any of us. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Greensboro.
Hang in there, Harold. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Rohini.
Thinking of you and your family, Harold. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
