Friendly visitor needed for a 92-year-old neighbor in Jacksonville
Gabriel lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇺🇸 Jacksonville, Florida, United States748 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Gabriel, who's 92. Gabriel lives alone in Jacksonville, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Gabriel loves cricket, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up
Wishing you peace, Craig. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
