Companionship wanted: Andrew's gardening and a cup of tea
Andrew lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Andrew, who's 82. Andrew lives alone in Fresno, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Andrew loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

stay strong, Gabriel. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Amiens
stay strong. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best!
Hope it all works out, Gabriel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
so sorry you're going through this, Gabriel. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Bakersfield this morning.
Sending good thoughts, Gabriel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
