Companionship wanted: Madeline's birdwatching and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Madeline is asking for.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States539 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Madeline, who's 73. Madeline lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Madeline 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.

Sending love, Alyssa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Hope it all works out, Alyssa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending strength, Alyssa. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Los Angeles
You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
