A weekly visit for Sharon, 91, who lives alone in Miami

Looking for a friendly person in Miami to visit Sharon once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Sharon, who's 91. Sharon lives alone in Miami, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Sharon 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Keep going, Adalynn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Belfast.

      Thinking of you and your family, Adalynn. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!

        I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Heliopolis

          You're not alone, Adalynn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 13 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Miami
