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

I'm writing for my neighbor Clara, who's 72. Clara lives alone in Toronto, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 601 kilometers away.
Clara loves knitting, 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.
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you, Oliver. This could happen to any of us. I hope January is when things finally get easier.
hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Fresno!
Take care, Oliver. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Toronto.
Hope it all works out, Oliver. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Johannesburg but we're thinking of you. God bless.
