Companionship wanted: Travis's birdwatching and a cup of tea

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Travis is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Travis, who's 93. Travis lives alone in Fresno, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Travis loves birdwatching, 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.

  • Hope it all works out, Hazel. Get well soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Fresno

    • So sorry you're going through this, Hazel. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
