A weekly visit for Emma, 77, who lives alone in Eugene
Emma lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Emma, who's 77. Emma lives alone in Eugene, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Emma loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.

Best of luck, Alice. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thanks for sharing this, Alice. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Mumbai.
