Companionship wanted: Kevin's birdwatching and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Joliet to visit Kevin once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Kevin, who's 84. Kevin lives alone in Joliet, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 575 kilometers away.
Kevin loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Fresno.
rooting for you, Walter. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Hang in there, Walter. Your post was clear and honest.
Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from New Delhi.
