A weekly visit for Wesley, 90, who lives alone in Grand Rapids
Wesley lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Wesley, who's 90. Wesley lives alone in Grand Rapids, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Wesley loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

Wishing you peace, Lydia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Rochester!
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Negombo.
