Companionship wanted: Addison's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Addison lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States717 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Addison, who's 79. Addison lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Addison loves crossword puzzles, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

keep going, Parker. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
you're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Recife so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Los Angeles.
