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

I'm writing for my neighbor Aria, who's 87. Aria lives alone in San Jose, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Aria loves birdwatching, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of San Jose.

Good luck, Sebastian. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

Thanks for sharing this, Sebastian. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning. God bless.
