A weekly visit for Aaron, 86, who lives alone in Arlington
Aaron lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Aaron, who's 86. Aaron lives alone in Arlington, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Aaron loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
Thank you so much.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Toronto.
Thinking of you, Faith. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Denpasar.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
