Friendly visitor needed for a 78-year-old neighbor in Brescia
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Donatella is asking for.
🇮🇹 Brescia, Lombardy, Italy691 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Donatella, who's 78. Donatella lives alone in Brescia, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Donatella 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.
Glad we found this place.

hope things get better soon, Rosa. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Brescia.
praying for you, Rosa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Keep going, Rosa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Bronx but we're thinking of you.

Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. God bless.
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
