A weekly visit for Scarlett, 75, who lives alone in Fort Worth

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

Fort Worth
I'm writing for my neighbor Scarlett, who's 75. Scarlett lives alone in Fort Worth, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Scarlett 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
