Companionship wanted: Annabelle's baking and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Annabelle is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Annabelle, who's 85. Annabelle lives alone in Buffalo, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Annabelle loves baking, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Jameson. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best. Wishing Annabelle a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
