Friendly visitor needed for a 76-year-old neighbor in Oakland
Valentina lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Valentina, who's 76. Valentina lives alone in Oakland, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Valentina loves local history, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
