Friendly visitor needed for a 90-year-old neighbor in Half-Way Tree
Horace lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Horace, who's 90. Horace lives alone in Half-Way Tree, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 547 kilometers away.
Horace loves opera, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Orville. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Keep going, Orville. Get well soon!
Thinking of you and your family, Orville. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Half-Way Tree.
Best of luck, Orville. Wishing Horace a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from San Nicolás de los Garza
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Kano.
