Friendly visitor needed for a 78-year-old neighbor in Wollongong
Looking for a friendly person in Wollongong to visit Peyton once a week.
🇦🇺 Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia940 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Peyton, who's 78. Peyton lives alone in Wollongong, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Peyton loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.

Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal.
Good luck, Hadley. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Makati.
sending good thoughts, Hadley. Your post was clear and honest.
Thanks for sharing this, Hadley. Wishing Peyton a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
