Companionship wanted: Fen's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Bakersfield to visit Fen once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Fen, who's 80. Fen lives alone in Bakersfield, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Fen loves crossword puzzles, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this, Wei. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Bakersfield.
Good luck, Wei. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Bakersfield
