Friendly visitor needed for an 85-year-old neighbor in Los Angeles
Looking for a friendly person in Los Angeles to visit Noah once a week.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States880 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Noah, who's 85. Noah lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 628 kilometers away.
Noah 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.

Thinking of you and your family, Silas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Silas. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
You're not alone, Silas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Laredo
