A weekly visit for Jenny, 89, who lives alone in Sacramento
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Jenny is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jenny, who's 89. Jenny lives alone in Sacramento, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 494 kilometers away.
Jenny loves birdwatching, 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.

Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. God bless

take care, Rowena. Wishing Jenny a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Mississauga but we're thinking of you. Take care!

keep going, Rowena. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
