Could you share an hour a week with Hannah?

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Hannah, who's 77. Hannah lives alone in Austin, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Hannah loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

  • Hope things get better soon, Jameson. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 8 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything!
