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

I'm writing for my neighbor Cora, who's 72. Cora lives alone in San Jose, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Cora loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.

Hope it all works out, Jackson. Shared this with my family. After 13 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Keep going, Jackson. Looking forward to the next update. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Thinking of you, Jackson. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Epe.
