Companionship wanted: Waylon's baking and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in New York to visit Waylon once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Waylon, who's 77. Waylon lives alone in New York, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Waylon 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Sacramento.
