Companionship wanted: Owen's chess and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Sacramento to visit Owen once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Owen, who's 75. Owen lives alone in Sacramento, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 296 kilometers away.
Owen loves chess, 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending love, Adalynn. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Stay strong. 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.
Hope you get there. Sent it to 31 people at work. Thinking of Sacramento.
