Looking for a friendly person in Bakersfield to visit Micah once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Micah, who's 72. Micah lives alone in Bakersfield, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Micah loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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 so much.
