"Welll.... Elderly people , sitting behind their geraniums, are not the sort of people that will react on your alert. Allthough: maybe someone would like you to visit and take him, or her, out. But: that someone wil not, ever, say so in public. He , or she thinks it is not"decent". And: fairly the most of the not that elderly people (most of the readers of your blog), not yet sitting behind geraniums but in full life, will ever tell you of someone in particular sitting old and lonely and neglected behind geraniums. Because: When that not so elderly someone would name someone, the obvious question would be: but why didn't you ever visit that lonely geranium men/woman yourself allready???!!!! Having said this: just asking on the net for lonely elderly people, preferably in Rotterdam is not ( this is my opinion, there maybe other people with other opinions) the most effective way in spotting elderly people that would like to get out of their houses but can't. You will have to go out of your appartment and actively (not digitally) start looking for seniors yourself. Go and do it. "May 6 2012 on Grandpa/ma alert! Looking for an elderly man or woman!!
