Companionship wanted: Annabelle's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Annabelle lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇺🇸 Bronx, New York, United States454 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Annabelle, who's 73. Annabelle lives alone in Bronx, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Annabelle loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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 so much.
