Could you share an hour a week with Lauren?

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Lauren, who's 90. Lauren lives alone in Townsville, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 881 kilometers away. Lauren loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
