I'm writing for my neighbor Walter, who's 90. Walter lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Walter 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. Thank you for reading my story.
