Could you share an hour a week with Hadley?
Hadley lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Hadley, who's 75. Hadley lives alone in Lafayette, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 371 kilometers away.
Hadley loves chess, 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.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
thinking of you, Liam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Envigado so I could bring a meal. Take care.
sending good thoughts, Liam. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
wishing you the best, Liam. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Rooting for you, Liam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
take care. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.

You're not alone, Liam. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Lafayette
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours
Keep going, Liam. Looking forward to the next update.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Addis Ababa.
hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Bronx this morning
Sending love, Liam. Wishing Hadley a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
