Friendly visitor needed for a 73-year-old neighbor in Mississauga

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Elijah, who's 73. Elijah lives alone in Mississauga, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Elijah loves chess, 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.

  • Wishing you the best, Robert. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Ikeja

    • Sending strength, Robert. It takes guts to ask. Well done
