Companionship wanted: Bella's knitting and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in New York to visit Bella once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Bella, who's 93. Bella lives alone in New York, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Bella loves knitting, 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.
