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

I'm writing for my neighbor Brooks, who's 92. Brooks lives alone in Macon, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 299 kilometers away.
Brooks loves cricket, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
best of luck, Shawn. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Arusha but we're thinking of you.
Take care, Shawn. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Savar donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
