Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Erie

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Lydia, who's 76. Lydia lives alone in Erie, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Lydia loves gardening, 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
