Meddler deliver packed meals to the elderly

In my neighborhood, an 80-year-old woman who lost her husband last year lives alone. The other day when I came across her, I asked, "How are you doing?" "Being a single dweller, I have less appetite and run out of the energy to go shopping. I felt dizzy since I didn't eat," she replied. Considering her difficult situation, I bought a packed meal for her dinner at a nearby store, bringing it to her with the menu. I told her my phone number with the message, "Tell me whenever you want to eat."

A few days later, I got a phone call from her, so I delivered one to her again. Since she was trying to pay both for a meal and a service charge, I said to her, "I don't need the charge because I'm just a meddler." Realizing she thought I worked for a food delivery company, we broke into a big laugh. She asked if I could deliver one to her again, so I answered, "Anytime."

I've had a variety of things to do for my mom, who passed away at 82 just this February. Taking after my mom in a meddling personality, I'm so glad to help the neighbor of my mom's generation do daily chores like going shopping.

Meddler ding Fool Deliver ps Packaged mMeals to the eElderly

I guess we can use "meddler" on its own but for some reason it doesn't sound quite right to me in this title. "Meddling fool" is a set phrase and makes more sense given the content of your story.

Thank you!

MeddlerGood Samaritan delivers packaged meals to the elderly

"Good Samaritan" is a noun phrase in English, meaning someone who helps people who are in need.
"Meddler" has a negative connotation, as if someone is interfering and causing trouble.

In my neighborhood, an 80-year-old woman who lost her husband last year lives alone.

The other day when I came across her, I asked, "How are you doing?"

"Being a single dwellerSince I live alone, I have less appetite and run out of the energy to go shopping.

"Single dweller" doesn't sound natural in English.

I felt dizzy since I didn't eat," she replied.

Considering her difficult situation, I bought a packaged meal for her dinner at a nearby store, bringing it to her with the menu.

I toldgave her my phone number with the message, "Tell me whenever you want to eat.

It's not really wrong, but I think the majority of people would say they give their phone numbers to someone.

"

A few days later, I got a phone call from her, so I delivered one to her again.

Since she was trying to pay both for a meal and a service charge, I said to her, "I don't need the chargemoney because I'm just a meddlerGood Samaritan."

I changed "charge" to "money" in the last part of the sentence, because "charge" brings to mind business fees, bills, etc. Since you are talking about yourself as a person, I think "money" sounds more natural in that case.
Or you could say something like, "I don't need the money because I'm just trying to help."

Realizing she thought I worked for a food delivery company, we broke into a big laugh.

She asked if I could deliver one to her again, so I answered, "Anytime.

I changed "meddling" to "caring" since I think does of better job of expressing what you're trying to say (describing someone who is compassionate and helpful to others).
