A weekly visit for Kinsley, 74, who lives alone in Los Angeles

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

Los Angeles
I'm writing for my neighbor Kinsley, who's 74. Kinsley lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 819 kilometers away. Kinsley loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Kozhikode this morning. Take care.
