A weekly visit for Yolanda, 89, who lives alone in El Paso

I'm writing for my neighbor Yolanda, who's 89. Yolanda lives alone in El Paso, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Yolanda loves birdwatching, 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
