Friendly visitor needed for a 92-year-old neighbor in San Diego
Shawn lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Shawn, who's 92. Shawn lives alone in San Diego, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Shawn loves opera, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

so sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from São Paulo
looking forward to the next update. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of San Diego.
sending love. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Shubra.
