Friendly visitor needed for a 77-year-old neighbor in Flint
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Cristian is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Cristian, who's 77. Cristian lives alone in Flint, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 389 kilometers away.
Cristian loves baking, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hang in there, Beatriz. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Curitiba
Sending good thoughts, Beatriz. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope January is when things finally get easier.
Hang in there, Beatriz. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 15 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Take care, Beatriz. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Sydney.
