Friendly visitor needed for a 72-year-old neighbor in Jacksonville
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Gregory is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Gregory, who's 72. Gregory lives alone in Jacksonville, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Gregory loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
