Companionship wanted: Jomar's birdwatching and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Toronto to visit Jomar once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jomar, who's 94. Jomar lives alone in Toronto, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Jomar loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
