Friendly visitor needed for an 81-year-old neighbor in Los Angeles
Donna lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Donna, who's 81. Donna lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Donna loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace, Lauren. Wishing Donna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Southampton donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Bronx but we're thinking of you.
Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
wishing Donna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Stay strong. Wishing Donna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Istanbul but we're thinking of you. All the best!
