Friendly visitor needed for an 89-year-old neighbor in Peoria
Looking for a friendly person in Peoria to visit Marisol once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Marisol, who's 89. Marisol lives alone in Peoria, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 574 kilometers away.
Marisol loves local history, 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 hope life is good to you.

sending good thoughts, Soledad. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Peoria.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Peoria.
looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Fort Worth
Hang in there, Soledad. Wishing Marisol a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
