Companionship wanted: Colton's cricket and a cup of tea
Colton lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States457 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Colton, who's 93. Colton lives alone in San Diego, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 756 kilometers away.
Colton loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.

Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
Hope things get better soon, Walter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong, Walter. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Mwanza.
