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

I'm writing for my neighbor Rylee, who's 80. Rylee lives alone in Toronto, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Rylee loves baking, 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 good thoughts, Marilyn. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Thinking of you and your family, Marilyn. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
thinking of you, Marilyn. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Marilyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Marilyn. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Bogor.
