Friendly visitor needed for a 94-year-old neighbor in Allentown
Looking for a friendly person in Allentown to visit Jack once a week.
🇺🇸 Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States325 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Jack, who's 94. Jack lives alone in Allentown, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Jack loves chess, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out, Beau. Shared this with my family.
I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Rochester!
best of luck. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Allentown.
Thinking of you and your family, Beau. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Jeddah.
Good luck, Beau. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mississauga.
So sorry you're going through this, Beau. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Fayetteville so I could bring a meal.
