A weekly visit for Harold, 74, who lives alone in Toronto

Looking for a friendly person in Toronto to visit Harold once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Harold, who's 74. Harold lives alone in Toronto, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 373 kilometers away. Harold loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. Glad we found this place.

    so sorry you're going through this, Riley. Get well soon. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
