A weekly visit for Harold, 85, who lives alone in Los Angeles

Harold lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Harold, who's 85. Harold lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 483 kilometers away. Harold loves baking, 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
