A weekly visit for Jaxon, 84, who lives alone in Duluth

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Jaxon, who's 84. Jaxon lives alone in Duluth, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 852 kilometers away. Jaxon loves knitting, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
