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

I'm writing for my neighbor Xia, who's 80. Xia lives alone in Oakland, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 238 kilometers away.
Xia loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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 hope life is good to you.
