A weekly visit for Erica, 78, who lives alone in Edmonton
Erica lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Erica, who's 78. Erica lives alone in Edmonton, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Erica loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Addis Ababa.
Hope it all works out, Hazel. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from London
wishing you peace, Hazel. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 32 people at work. Thinking of Edmonton!
