A weekly visit for Brielle, 82, who lives alone in Joliet
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Brielle is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Brielle, who's 82. Brielle lives alone in Joliet, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 373 kilometers away.
Brielle loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
