Friendly visitor needed for an 83-year-old neighbor in Bergamo
Looking for a friendly person in Bergamo to visit Cristina once a week.
🇮🇹 Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy379 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Cristina, who's 83. Cristina lives alone in Bergamo, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Cristina loves local history, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Shared it with a few friends. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from The Hague.
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Raffaele. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
