A weekly visit for Eli, 93, who lives alone in Tampa

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Eli is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Eli, who's 93. Eli lives alone in Tampa, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Eli 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. Thank you so much.

    Wishing you peace, Waylon. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Buenos Aires so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Moscow

      Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

        You're not alone, Waylon. Looking forward to the next update. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Tampa.
