A weekly visit for Jorge, 89, who lives alone in Charlotte

Looking for a friendly person in Charlotte to visit Jorge once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jorge, who's 89. Jorge lives alone in Charlotte, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Jorge loves birdwatching, 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. I hope life is good to you.

    I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Swansea donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
