Companionship wanted: Alexander's cricket and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in San Diego to visit Alexander once a week.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States991 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Alexander, who's 83. Alexander lives alone in San Diego, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 729 kilometers away.
Alexander loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

stay strong. Wishing Alexander a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted.
Take care, Melanie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Liverpool donated after I showed her your page.
hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of San Diego.
