A weekly visit for Doris, 88, who lives alone in Joliet

Looking for a friendly person in Joliet to visit Doris once a week.

Joliet
I'm writing for my neighbor Doris, who's 88. Doris lives alone in Joliet, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Doris loves cricket, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    thinking of you, Amber. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 9 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
