A weekly visit for Alyssa, 79, who lives alone in Bristol
Alyssa lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Alyssa, who's 79. Alyssa lives alone in Bristol, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Alyssa loves gardening, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Keep going, Madelyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Bristol
Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Lucknow.
