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

I'm writing for my neighbor Ella, who's 89. Ella lives alone in Pittsburgh, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Ella 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.

Take care, Riley. This could happen to any of us
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. All the best!
Rooting for you, Riley. Wishing Ella a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Paris.
