Could you share an hour a week with Salvador?

Looking for a friendly person in Syracuse to visit Salvador once a week.

Syracuse
I'm writing for my neighbor Salvador, who's 89. Salvador lives alone in Syracuse, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 533 kilometers away. Salvador loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
