Friendly visitor needed for a 73-year-old neighbor in Victoria
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Ezra is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ezra, who's 73. Ezra lives alone in Victoria, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Ezra loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Victoria.
Thinking of you and your family, Victoria. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Victoria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning. Love from Dhaka.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Victoria
You're not alone, Victoria. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Oakland.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Medellín

Keep going, Victoria. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Gazipur.
