Companionship wanted: Mason's knitting and a cup of tea
Mason lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Mason, who's 75. Mason lives alone in San Antonio, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Mason loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

best of luck, Mateo. Hope you get there. Thinking of San Antonio.
Wishing Mason a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of San Antonio.
shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Sending strength, Mateo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to New York so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Kolkata!
