A weekly visit for Alexander, 78, who lives alone in Miami
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Alexander is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Alexander, who's 78. Alexander lives alone in Miami, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 258 kilometers away.
Alexander loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Savar
Wishing you the best, Amelia. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best
Sending love, Amelia. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
You're not alone, Amelia. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Miami.
You're not alone, Amelia. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
