Friendly visitor needed for a 92-year-old neighbor in Palermo
Giovanna lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇮🇹 Palermo, Sicily, Italy323 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Giovanna, who's 92. Giovanna lives alone in Palermo, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Giovanna loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.

Praying for you, Daniele. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Sending love, Daniele. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
