Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Los Angeles

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Enrique, who's 79. Enrique lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Enrique loves cricket, 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Hope it all works out, Francisco. Shared this with my family. God bless.

    • Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Södertälje.

      • Best of luck, Francisco. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

        • Take care, Francisco. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Los Angeles.

          • Hope things get better soon, Francisco. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

            • thinking of you, Francisco. Wishing Enrique a smooth procedure and a full recovery

              • Good luck, Francisco. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Amsterdam.

                  • wishing you peace, Francisco. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
