A weekly visit for Benjamin, 81, who lives alone in Angeles
Benjamin lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Benjamin, who's 81. Benjamin lives alone in Angeles, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Benjamin loves baking, 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.
Glad we found this place.
