A weekly visit for Leonardo, 74, who lives alone in Edinburgh
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Leonardo is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Leonardo, who's 74. Leonardo lives alone in Edinburgh, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 820 kilometers away.
Leonardo loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

so sorry you're going through this, Brooks. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Brooks. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope October is when things finally get easier
Praying for you, Brooks. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
wishing Leonardo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Edinburgh.
Keep going, Brooks. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Akron
