Could you share an hour a week with Frank?
Looking for a friendly person in Albany to visit Frank once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Frank, who's 89. Frank lives alone in Albany, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 229 kilometers away.
Frank loves crossword puzzles, 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.
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out, Mason. Wishing Frank a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Albany.
Hope it all works out, Mason. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Seattle so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Mason. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours.
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too
hope things get better soon, Mason. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 32 people at work. God bless
Take care. Wishing Frank a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Coyoacán.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Mason. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Dallas
wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
stay strong, Mason. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Granada.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going, Mason. Hope you get there. Blessings!
