Could you share an hour a week with Paulette?

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Paulette is asking for.

Spanish Town
I'm writing for my neighbor Paulette, who's 72. Paulette lives alone in Spanish Town, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 521 kilometers away. Paulette loves birdwatching, 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
