Companionship wanted: Elias's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in San Diego to visit Elias once a week.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States647 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Elias, who's 92. Elias lives alone in San Diego, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 373 kilometers away.
Elias loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
Glad we found this place.

Hang in there, Kai. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
