A weekly visit for Charmaine, 91, who lives alone in Burnaby

Looking for a friendly person in Burnaby to visit Charmaine once a week.

Burnaby
I'm writing for my neighbor Charmaine, who's 91. Charmaine lives alone in Burnaby, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 766 kilometers away. Charmaine loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
