Friendly visitor needed for a 72-year-old neighbor in Austin
Oliver lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Oliver, who's 72. Oliver lives alone in Austin, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Oliver loves baking, 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.
Glad we found this place.
