Summary

Lilian is over 75 years old and would love to go to town with someone. But a visit to her home would be nice too.

Detailed description

Lilian would like a companion to visit her and walk her to town (using a walker). The last time she walked to town was a while ago. This is because she has difficulty walking and often feels very tired. To be honest, it's not really clear whether Lilian can even walk such a distance anymore. A visit home would therefore be very much appreciated. She was born in Aruba, has two children, and worked in sheltered employment. She is open to a man or woman as a companion, preferably someone a bit older.
