Could you share an hour a week with Carmen?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Carmen is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Carmen, who's 88. Carmen lives alone in Fayetteville, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Carmen loves chess, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Regina. Hope this works out for you. I hope February is when things finally get easier.
you're not alone, Regina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Praying for you, Regina. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
