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

I'm writing for my neighbor James, who's 80. James lives alone in Mississauga, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
James loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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 for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Alexander. Wishing James a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Wellington.
