A weekly visit for Savannah, 90, who lives alone in London

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Savannah, who's 90. Savannah lives alone in London, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Savannah loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
