Friendly visitor needed for a 77-year-old neighbor in Tallahassee

Looking for a friendly person in Tallahassee to visit Declan once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Declan, who's 77. Declan lives alone in Tallahassee, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 533 kilometers away. Declan loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Thinking of you and your family, Rowan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

        Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Ikeja so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Kisumu.

          Thanks for sharing this, Rowan. Hope you get there. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
