Could you share an hour a week with Arianna?

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Arianna, who's 81. Arianna lives alone in Mobile, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Arianna loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
