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
