- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
A local fellow who follows the Pats, but loves the 49ers is looking for a friendly visit and a guided walk outdoors once a week or so to bring a little joy and diversity to his day. If you have more time and can assist with a trip to the grocery store that would be wonderful too since this gent cannot navigate the store or read the prices without assistance. Friendly and outgoing, there won't be any dull moments visiting; as a retired court interpreter, there are some stories there! It's so easy to help a neighbor who is legally blind, get started today!
