Friendly visitor needed for a 90-year-old neighbor in Los Angeles

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Lucía, who's 90. Lucía lives alone in Los Angeles, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Lucía loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    So sorry you're going through this, Silvia. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Los Angeles.
