Companionship wanted: Delilah's chess and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Los Angeles to visit Delilah once a week.

Los Angeles
I'm writing for my neighbor Delilah, who's 72. Delilah lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Delilah loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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 hope life is good to you.

    Hang in there, Patrick. Wishing Delilah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best

      Stay strong. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Melbourne but we're thinking of you. Blessings
