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.

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

            You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
