Friendly visitor needed for a 78-year-old neighbor in Allentown
Christopher lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Christopher, who's 78. Christopher lives alone in Allentown, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Christopher loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
