Friendly visitor needed for an 87-year-old neighbor in Bristol
Looking for a friendly person in Bristol to visit Genesis once a week.
🇬🇧 Bristol, England, United Kingdom1,384 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Genesis, who's 87. Genesis lives alone in Bristol, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 755 kilometers away.
Genesis loves opera, 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love, Brooklyn. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Brooklyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Good luck, Brooklyn. Wishing Genesis a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Leeds.
Wishing you peace, Brooklyn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. All the best
