Friendly visitor needed for an 87-year-old neighbor in Brampton
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Alexa is asking for.
🇨🇦 Brampton, Ontario, Canada590 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Alexa, who's 87. Alexa lives alone in Brampton, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Alexa loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

Wishing Alexa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Grenoble so I could bring a meal.

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
