I'm writing for my neighbor Michael, who's 88. Michael lives alone in Pittsburgh, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Michael loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- In person in Pittsburgh
- skills
- kindness, patience
