Friendly visitor needed for an 89-year-old neighbor in Ottawa
Looking for a friendly person in Ottawa to visit Harold once a week.
🇨🇦 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada1,134 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Harold, who's 89. Harold lives alone in Ottawa, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Harold loves old films, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
