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

Brooklyn lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Brooklyn, who's 73. Brooklyn lives alone in Tampa, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Brooklyn 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. Glad we found this place.
