A weekly visit for William, 77, who lives alone in Sacramento
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all William is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor William, who's 77. William lives alone in Sacramento, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
William loves birdwatching, 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.
