A weekly visit for Maria, 84, who lives alone in Columbus
Maria lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Maria, who's 84. Maria lives alone in Columbus, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Maria loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
