Friendly visitor needed for a 75-year-old neighbor in Fresno

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Janet, who's 75. Janet lives alone in Fresno, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Janet loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Take care, Brielle. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Fresno.
