Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Fresno

Miguel lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Fresno
I'm writing for my neighbor Miguel, who's 79. Miguel lives alone in Fresno, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Miguel 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
