Companionship wanted: Eugene's old films and a cup of tea
Eugene lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Eugene, who's 73. Eugene lives alone in San Jose, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 209 kilometers away.
Eugene loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going. Wishing Eugene a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Natalia. Your post was clear and honest.
Hope it all works out, Natalia. Wishing Eugene a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Praying for you, Natalia. Hope you get there. Love from Anaheim
Thinking of you and your family, Natalia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
