A weekly visit for Ezra, 72, who lives alone in Memphis
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Ezra is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ezra, who's 72. Ezra lives alone in Memphis, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Ezra loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you. Hope you get there. After 10 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Hang in there. Get well soon. Thinking of Memphis.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Memphis!
Good luck. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
wishing you peace, Teresa. Shared it with a few friends.
