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

I'm writing for my neighbor Parker, who's 74. Parker lives alone in Huntsville, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 892 kilometers away.
Parker 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
