A weekly visit for Grayson, 92, who lives alone in Tampa

Looking for a friendly person in Tampa to visit Grayson once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Grayson, who's 92. Grayson lives alone in Tampa, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Grayson loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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 hope life is good to you.

    Rooting for you, Robert. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Tampa.
