  Beschreibung

  Hi! I'm Tony. I am 65, a retired symphony musician (cellist). I am a widower and have no living children. I am grieving the loss to suicide of my son Misha, who died in July 2023. He was only 23. So I am heartbroken, struggling to find meaning, reason to live, peace and maybe some redemption. This is the main task.
  
  I live on a small country property on the southern edge of Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, near the intersection of Highway 401 and Homer Watson Blvd., about 3km west of Conestoga College, about an hour west of Toronto. The property is in an idyllic and peaceful setting, but has become rundown and is in poor condition. I wish to sell it and need help in getting this done. De-cluttering, sorting, downsizing... The house is 15 minutes by car from downtown Kitchener. The city bus is a short walk or bike ride. I have bikes for the use of Workawayers and you can use my car although I don’t have much money for gas etc., as I live on pensions.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  I am a fairly mainstream Canuck. Kitchener is in the heart of southern Ontario and is a lively cultural centre. It is surrounded by wonderful farmland much of which is still worked by Mennonite families who have been here for many generations. The Six Nations Reserve is close by (one of the biggest communities of indigenous peoples in Canada). There are lots of cultural activities of interest there. Toronto is nearby and is a cosmopolitan city of several millions. The Great Lakes define the geography and climate of this part of North America. They are magnificent freshwater inland seas, of course.

  Arbeit

  I need emotional help. This is the first task. I am severely depressed and bereaved. If I am able to lift out of this state, then I will need help organizing and executing a plan for my property/chattels (land, house, barn, car, truck, motorcycles, tractors, tools, household effects, other miscellany) to get it/them sorted into categories e.g. keep, sell, donate, trash...
  
  Someone compassionate and patient, emotionally stable and strong, also skilled in administrative organization would be a huge help. Sorting and de-cluttering experience helpful. Craigslist, Kijiji, EBay, Facebook Marketplace, etc., or other Classified Ad sales experience a big plus. I would pay a reasonable commission for stuff successfully sold. Mechanical aptitude and experience very helpful. Able to lift and carry 30 kg would be good.

  Unterkunft

  You would have your own bedroom and share the rest of the house. The house is messy and dusty so the first task would be cleaning and sorting to your satisfaction.

  Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph are great towns to visit with a nice balance of rural and urban. I'm only 45 minutes from Toronto International Airport and not much further from downtown Toronto. Niagara Falls is less than two hours drive. Kitchener is on the banks of the Grand River, roughly equidistant from the Great Lakes; Ontario, Erie, Huron, and Georgian Bay.
