A weekly visit for Eva, 88, who lives alone in Tacoma

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Eva, who's 88. Eva lives alone in Tacoma, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Eva loves local history, 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. Thank you for reading my story.

    You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

      Stay strong, Luna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Leeds.

        I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Tacoma

          Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Madurai

            Sending strength, Luna. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Faisalabad but we're thinking of you. All the best.

              Take care. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
