Companionship wanted: Piper's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Piper is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Piper, who's 75. Piper lives alone in Vancouver, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 827 kilometers away.
Piper loves crossword puzzles, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Tarkwa.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Vancouver.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
