A weekly visit for Savannah, 75, who lives alone in Los Angeles

Savannah lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Savannah, who's 75. Savannah lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Savannah loves old films, 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. Glad we found this place.

    Thinking of you and your family. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update.
