Could you share an hour a week with Anthony?

Anthony lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Los Angeles

I'm writing for my neighbor Anthony, who's 79. Anthony lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Anthony loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

effort: 1 hour a week
format: In person in Los Angeles
skills: kindness, patience
