Companionship wanted: Lucy's old films and a cup of tea

Lucy lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Lucy, who's 85. Lucy lives alone in Anaheim, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Lucy loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

                  Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Sheffield.
