Friendly visitor needed for a 74-year-old neighbor in Winnipeg
Miles lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Miles, who's 74. Miles lives alone in Winnipeg, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Miles loves old films, 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you, Ellie. Shared this with my family.
Sending strength, Ellie. Hope the doctors have good news. After 14 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Wishing you the best, Ellie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you, Ellie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

You're not alone. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Caloocan but we're thinking of you.
