Companionship wanted: Rachel's local history and a cup of tea

Rachel lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Riverside
I'm writing for my neighbor Rachel, who's 82. Rachel lives alone in Riverside, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Rachel loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
