Friendly visitor needed for a 78-year-old neighbor in Savannah

Fernanda lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Fernanda, who's 78. Fernanda lives alone in Savannah, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Fernanda loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

  • Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings

    • wishing you the best, Víctor. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Savannah.

      • You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best.

        • Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

          • Best of luck, Víctor. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best!

            • sending good thoughts, Víctor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal. All the best.
