A weekly visit for Marta, 72, who lives alone in Dallas

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Marta is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Marta, who's 72. Marta lives alone in Dallas, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Marta loves knitting, 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
